Special Elections 2015

Below are lists of the top 10 contributors for each committee primarily formed to support or oppose a state candidate that raises $1,000,000 or more. These committees are often referred to as independent expenditure committees. This does not include a committee controlled by a state candidate for his or her own election.

The top 10 lists reflect the most recently available data. During the 90 days before an election the FPPC makes every attempt to ensure that the lists are updated within one business day of receiving new information. Otherwise, the top contributor lists are updated weekly.
