Campaign finance
Candidates for state office in Vermont are required to report to the Secretary of State’s Office how much they raise and spend on their campaigns — as well as where the money is coming from and where it’s going. VTDigger has analyzed that data and presented it here in a way we hope will best inform readers.

Please note that candidates for federal office — such as U.S. Senate and U.S. House —report campaign finance data through a different system and on a different schedule.
