Sources and limits
  • Individual donor names below the disclosure threshold are pooled by year and recipient. Organization names are shown as reported; mechanical spelling normalization does not establish ownership.
  • Street addresses, contact details, and free-text descriptions that could contain such details are omitted.
  • Public transaction exports omit below-threshold individual details; pooled amounts remain in funding totals. Each figure can be traced to a filing and transaction ID in the City's export.
  • Download dates and post-export filings are unverified. A candidate without a matched committee is not assigned zero fundraising.
  • This profile is a computed analysis of the filed statements.

Terms on this page

Plain-language meanings from the site glossary. The official labels stay as filed.

Monetary contributions
Money a committee reported receiving as contributions: the Schedule A total, itemized plus unitemized amounts (Summary line 1). New loans and in-kind contributions are not included. It can include loan forgiveness, so it is not always all new cash.
Payments
Money a committee reported paying out (Summary line 6): itemized and unitemized payments plus loan interest (Schedule E). Subvendor details are informational and are not added to payments again.
Ending cash
The cash a committee reported at the end of the coverage of its latest full statement (Summary line 16). It is a balance on one date, not a total over time.
Later reported receipts
Contributions reported on Form 497 that are dated after a committee’s latest full statement. They are counted separately and are not added to that statement’s totals.

About these numbers

  1. Each 2026 figure is its own measure. The 2026 figures are not added together, within a committee or across committees.
  2. Unavailable (not zero): Shown when a figure could not be established from the filings used here, such as when no committee was matched to a candidate or a committee has no 2026 full statement. It does not mean zero dollars.
  3. Names withheld: individual contributors below the disclosure threshold are pooled into one row. Pooled amounts remain in funding totals.
  4. Loans, in-kind support and contributions reported after a committee’s last full statement are shown separately from monetary contributions.
  5. Reports filed after the export date may be missing. Check the City’s NetFile portal for newer filings.
  6. Positions of ballot-measure committees are as their filings or the City’s portal state them. They are not endorsements by Transparent Salinas.

Sources and method

Figures come from campaign statements that committees filed with the City of Salinas, as exported from its NetFile portal. Each measure is kept separate, and amounts are rounded to whole dollars.
