Well, hey now, hi now, ho now, because primaries are nigh, where are campaign finance reports??? After all, they were due on March 11, 2008 for state WIDE candidates, and are due April 11th for everyone else!!

PA Department of State: Campaign Finance Reporting Home

With this nifty website, you can do things like:

1."Search for and review a specific campaign finance report by filer name, year, reporting cycle code and a number of other parameters."

2."Search for and review contributions from campaign finance reports. Search criteria include contributor name city, state, zip code, contribution date, contribution amount and others."

3."Search for and review expenditures from campaign finance reports. These expenditures are often contributions from the report filer to another candidate or committee. Search criteria include recipient name city, state, zip code, expenditure date, expenditure amount and others."

4."Search for and review debts from campaign finance reports. These debts are reported by candidates and committees as the debtor. Search criteria include creditor name city, state, zip code, debt date, debt amount and others."

(There are other parameters you can use to search, so check this site out! If your candidate isn't listed ask them or a local newspaper reporter why - after all campaign finance is not just a hot local and regional and state topic, it's a hot national topic!)
