Campaign finance refers to the means by which money is raised for election campaigns. As campaigns have many expenditures, ranging from the cost of travel for the candidate and others to the purchasing of air time for TV advertisements, candidates often spend a great deal of time and effort raising money to finance their cause. According to government statutes and rules, candidates are to disclose this information to the public.

The following is provided to candidates and committee treasurers for informational purposes only.  Please refer to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 211A (pdf), St Paul Code of Ordinances Chapter 28 (pdf), and Ramsey County Ordinance 97-480 (pdf), as applicable for complete information.
