Click on a candidate's name in any of the reports below to see their individual report. See also the Buyers Guide to Florida Candidates home page for more information.

Reports:

• Total amount, number and mean size of contributions
• Special interest (PAC & CCE) contributions
• Amount from Gainesville or elsewhere
• Number by size of contribution
• Maximium contributions
• Amount from in-state/out-of-state
• Percent of contributions by type

Note:

• when candidates had multiple contibutions that appeared to come from the same source, adjusted reports are included for those candidates where significant. The adjusted report results from my attempt to combine what appear to be multiple contributions made by the same individual into a single contribution.
• click on any graph below to enlarge it.
• the Buyers Guide reports on both candidates were updated after the election to reflect changes introduced when each candidate filed amendments to his pre-election treasurer reports. An explanation of what changed and the significance of those changes is included at the top of the individual report for Mr. Barrow and Mr. Braddy.

This may or may not not be a complete picture of PAC and CCE special interest contributions for each candidate. This report relies on the contribution having been identified as coming from a special interest group by finding the words "PAC", "CCE", or "Political" in the contributor's name or occupation. Some candidates did not properly identify all their special interest group contributions in this way. For a more complete picture of the special interest money each candidate has accepted, you should look at the individual detail report for the candidate and cross-check it against the the Buyers Guide to Florida Committee Expenditures Report to see where this candidate is listed as a payee.

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
