State House 2013Our seventh monthly roundup of candidates for General Assembly adds a new feature: campaign fundraising totals from 2013 filed with the State Board of Elections in January.

We have tried to list every candidate who has filed and most who have announced. We have added figures for Cash on hand, amount Raised in 2013, and Loans or Debts when significant.

The filing deadline is three weeks away, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 9 p.m.

Each district is listed by county and, in most cases, incumbents (in parentheses) with their status. The districts reflect new district lines, which have placed some incumbents into a different district. Each legislative district has one senator and three delegates, often split into subdistricts of one or two delegates. Many of the subdistricts were changed in the last restricting.

With over 300 candidates and incumbents and so many fundraising numbers, there are likely to be some omissions and errors. Please email any needed corrections to Len Lazarick, [email protected].

UPDATE 9 p.m., 2/4/2012 Information has been corrected or updated for Districts 4, 6, 8, 32, 37, and 43. Thanks to those who helped make this listing more accurate. LL

AFFIDAVIT OF LIMITED CONTRIBTUTIONS: “In lieu of filing a detailed campaign finance report, a political committee may file the Affidavit of Limited Contributions and Expenditures if the committee did not spend or receive more than $1,000 in the aggregate, exclusive of the filing fee, within a campaign finance reporting period. Please note, the Affidavit does not relieve the committee of any future reporting requirements and must be renewed every reporting period.”

“Once the political committee does exceed the $1,000 threshold, it must file a detailed campaign finance report at the subsequent filing period.” (Summary Guide, page 56)
