Finance Reports

  • No FEC campaign committee or reports on file for 2026

    Checked 2026-09-24: the Federal Election Commission lists candidate ID S6MI00590 for this race, but no principal campaign committee is designated for the 2025–26 cycle, so there are no committee reports of receipts or spending. A candidate who raises or spends under $5,000 is not required to register a committee.

    Sep 24, 2026 · Official · Federal Election Commission

  • No authorized campaign committee on file with the FEC for the 2026 cycle

    Checked 2026-09-24: FEC bulk candidate-committee linkage (ccl26) and committee master (cm26), FEC-processed 2026-09-23, for candidate ID S6MI00590. No committee is linked for 2026, so there are no FEC receipts, expenditures or campaign contacts to record. Committee registration is required only after $5,000 in contributions or expenditures (52 U.S.C. 30101(2)).
