The above reports were derived from campaign contribution data retrieved from the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections office or web site on the date I obtained it. This data had to be retyped from paper or the downloaded PDF files in order to be usable for statistical analysis. Retyping the data increases the risk of errors. I will be happy to make any needed corrections that are pointed out to me. Although much care was given to provide accurate statistics, I can provide no guarantee that the information reported above is without error. You can always run the numbers yourself and compare them to my reports. -Susan Wright
