What period of time is covered in the Campaign Finance Database?
The database begins with data from the 11/23/1999 Baltimore City Post General Report. For the many of the campaign committees, the 11/23/1999 report covers all transaction in 1999. However, certain campaign accounts that were participating in the Baltimore City election filed reports earlier in the year and therefore their 11/23/1999 report only includes transactions beginning on 10/18/1999. It should also be noted that several campaign committees who were participating in the Baltimore City election did file some of their earlier reports electronically.
