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
• Percent of contributions by type of donor

Notes:

• contributions that resulted from bank interest earned on the campaign account were excluded from the amounts and statistics reported below.

• IMPORTANT: Due to time and health constraints, there are NO ADJUSTED amounts or GRAPHICs included in my reports for this race. Without the adjusted reports, the effect of multiple donations from a single source are not relected in the stats below. Candidate Braddy's statistics in particular would be quite different if an adjusted report had been included because he has accepted $850 from seven business contributions which appear to be the same interest. They were received on the same day, share the same street or PO Box address, and are known to me to be inter-related corporations. The stats in my report show these as seven smaller donations rather than the single large donation that would be reported in an adjusted report. This should be taken into consideration when interpreting any of the numbers reported below.

Total amount, number and average amount of contributions:

Candidate	Number	Total Amount	Mean	Minimum	Maximum

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
