Campaign Finance Committees – Searchable database from the Missouri Ethics Commission.
—————–
Today’s State Database of the Day comes from Missouri and is really interesting once you understand what it is for. While you might believe as I did that this was the page for a Campaign Finance Committee of the Missouri State Government, in actually this is a powerful tool for finding information about groups registered to do political activity in Missouri, whether they are ALLIANCE FOR ELDERLY HEALTH CARE or LIBERTY FORWARD.
The database is searchable by committee name, candidate name, treasurer name, committee type (political party, campaign, continuing, out-of-state, etc). Records include committee officer names and contact information and links to PDFs of required filings including summaries of campaign contributions.
For more databases from more states, please see the 50-state agency database registry.
