Where the money went.
This page leads with the payments Salinas committees reported in 2026 and keeps the 2024–2025 history below it.
2026 Money
2026 Payments
Data as of 2026-10-17Figures cover campaign statements for periods through that date; coverage differs by committee.
What Salinas committees reported paying out on their 2026 full statements. Each committee’s payments stand alone: nothing is added across committees, and loans, in-kind support and unpaid bills are separate measures that appear on each committee’s page.
Figures marked “paper-filed Form 460”: Barrera for City Council 2026 (1482360): Read from the committee's paper-filed Form 460 statements (filing 217038488, received 2026-07-08; filing 217534118, received 2026-09-28), not from the City's e-filed data. Brenton Bagley for City Council 2026 (NF-217503420): Read from the committee's paper-filed Form 460 statement (filing 217503619, received 2026-09-23), not from the City's e-filed data.
Committees with a 2026 full statement, in the same order as the full results page. Payments are what the committee reported paying out in the statement period shown. Some committees carry an earlier election year in their name but reported activity in 2026; the coverage dates show the period.
Rent referendum committees in this section
Each of these committees, tied to the rent referendum (Measure H), appears in this section with the same measure: in the table above and in the payment details below if it has a 2026 full statement, in the list below if it has none. They are listed here in committee ID order; the table and the payment details follow the order of the full results page.
- Filed name refers to supporting a referendum petition; the filings reviewed state no position on the Measure H vote
- Position as filed: support of Measure H
- Position as listed by the City’s filing portal: oppose Measure H
- Listed by the City’s filing portal
POSTTV No on H
A committee named “POSTTV No on H” is also registered on the City’s filing portal and listed there as opposing Measure H; as of 2026-09-30 it had filed only a statement of organization (Form 410), so no figures are shown.
Positions are stated only as each committee’s filings, or the City’s filing portal, state them; they are not endorsements by Transparent Salinas.
No 2026 full statement
These committees have no 2026 full statement in the City’s exports, so their 2026 payments are unavailable, not zero.

2024–2025 history
2024–2025 spending
2024–2025 history, data through May 17, 2026
Contributions tell you who funded a campaign. Expenditures tell you who got paid. $1.39 million moved through eight Salinas committee datasets to vendors, consultants, mail houses, and payroll.
These figures are 2024–2025 campaign spending from this site’s earlier snapshot of filings through May 17, 2026. It is a separate dataset from the 2026 statements above.
CleanSweep Campaigns — appearing under four payee labels as filed — collected $392,851 across the 2024–2025 cycle. That’s more than one in every four dollars spent by Salinas campaigns.
