2026 Money · Results
Funding and spending results
Every committee with a 2026 full statement, with each reported measure in its own column.
Data as of 2026-10-17. Figures cover campaign statements for periods through that date; coverage differs by committee.
Data coverage: the 2025 e-filed export was generated 2026-09-25; the 2026 e-filed export was generated 2026-10-27; the paper-filed statements were retrieved from the City's NetFile portal on 2026-09-30. Export generation times are the workbooks' own timestamps (portal side).
2026 full statements only. Later reported receipts, shown separately, come from eligible kept Form 497 receipts dated after the committee's latest full statement. Loans, in-kind support, ending cash, itemized unpaid bills and outstanding debt (Summary line 19, which includes loans) are separate measures and are never added to monetary contributions or to each other.

One late contribution to committee 1484184 (filed as “Protect Salinas Residents 2026- Yes on Measure H”) was reported by the sending committee on a late-contribution report (Form 497) and by committee 1484184 as an in-kind contribution (Schedule C); it is counted once, in that committee's in-kind figure; see the committee page.
Some committees carry an earlier election year in their name but reported activity in 2026; the coverage dates show the period.
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. Only Summary Page totals were transcribed (twice independently, then checked against a third reading). Itemized contributor, payee and lender detail is not transcribed from paper filings, so figures that depend on itemized records are not established. Later reported receipts are not established either: a late contribution report (Form 497) filed on paper would not appear in the City's e-filed export.
Committees without a 2026 full statement are not ranked; their 2026 totals are unavailable, not zero: Barajas for Salinas City Council 2024 (1468732; latest full statement: 2025-07-01 to 2025-12-05), Margaret D'Arrigo for Salinas City Council - District 3 - 2024 (1469635; latest full statement: 2025-01-01 to 2025-06-30), Protect Salinas (1470558; latest full statement: 2025-01-01 to 2025-06-30), Protect Salinas Renters 2026 to Support Referendum of an Ordinance Repealing Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections (1481533; latest full statement: 2025-07-01 to 2025-12-31), National Apartment Association (SLNS-1130; latest full statement: No Form 460 in exports).

Independent expenditures (2026, Form 496)
Spending that committees reported on Form 496 (independent expenditure reports) as supporting or opposing a candidate, in reports filed through 2026-10-23, in committee ID order.
| Committee | Committee ID | Candidate | Reported position | Amount | Form 496 reports |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAFE Salinas | 1496733 | Dennis Donohue | Support | $17,103 | 2 |
| SAFE Salinas | 1496733 | Margaret D'Arrigo | Support | $4,666 | 1 |
| SAFE Salinas | 1496733 | Irma C Lopez | Support | $10,430 | 2 |
| SAFE Salinas | 1496733 | Andrew Sandoval | Oppose | $33,726 | 5 |
Each expenditure is counted once, from the kept version of its Form 496 report; the spending committee's Schedule D entries for the same expenditures are not added again. These amounts are a separate measure: they are never added to the candidate's committee figures or to the spending committee's payments, and the position is as reported.

About these numbers
- Each 2026 figure is its own measure. The 2026 figures are not added together, within a committee or across committees.
- 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.
- Names withheld: individual contributors below the disclosure threshold are pooled into one row. Pooled amounts remain in funding totals.
- Loans, in-kind support and contributions reported after a committee’s last full statement are shown separately from monetary contributions.
- Reports filed after the export date may be missing. Check the City’s NetFile portal for newer filings.
- 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.
