Vendors/Expenditures Any recipient of funds from a political committee is a vendor.  An expenditure is any purchase, payment, distribution, loan made, transfer of funds, or gift of money or anything of value.

Types of expenditures

There are three types of expenditures:
  • Transfers out
  • Loans made
  • Expenditures
Vendors/Expenditures included
Political committees file reports that include itemized receipts and expenditures.  An expenditure is itemized when the vendor has receivied more than $150 from the committee during the reporting period.  Expenditures to vendors receiving less than $150 are not itemized on committee reports, and are therefore not included.
If a political committee files electronically, all itemized vendor/expenditure information is available.  Vendor/expenditure information is not available for reports filed on paper.

Information available for each vendor/expenditure
  • Amount and date of expenditure
  • Purpose of expenditure
  • Beneficiary of expenditure
  • Vendor name and address
