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 do not properly identify all their special interest group contributions in this way.

The above reports were derived from campaign contribution data retrieved from the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections web site on the date I obtained it. Some of this data had to be retyped from paper in order to be usable for statistical analysis. This 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
