The non-profit Virginia Public
Access Project offers a glimpse behind the curtain of political spending on
their free Web site devoted to tracking campaign finance.
VPAP has just finished a major update, processing all the candidates' April 15 campaign finance reports. The information posted is current through March 31, and enables you to find out who has been giving to everyone from your local delegate all the way up to the candidates for Governor. Candidates <http://www.vpap.org/cands/results_district.cfm?DistID=GOV> for Governor June 14 House Primaries <http://www.vpap.org/cands/primaries.cfm> House candidates - Mos <http://www.vpap.org/cands/cashonhand.cfm> t Money On Hand <http://www.vpap.org/cands/cashonhand.cfm> Top Donors in 2005 <http://www.vpap.org/donors/topdonors.cfm> Looking ahead, the next batch of campaign reports will be due June 6 -- just eight days before the June 14 primary. VPAP also offers a way to search for donors in your neighborhood - by a specific county or city, or even a single zip code. You can even search for donors broken down by their occupation, all using our Advanced Donor Search: Advanced Donor <http://www.vpap.org/donors/index_advanced.cfm> Search And who is giving isn't always the whole story - perhaps you want to know where the candidates are spending that money. VPAP offers you that information as well.
