A few notes about the data:
- The cumulative file is composed of all electronically
filed campaign finance reports. While there is information from
prior cycles, it is not complete; for example, while Governor
Granholm filed a good deal of her campaign disclosures electronically
in the 2002 cycle, many more of her campaign’s statements
were filed on paper. (Beginning in 2004, all campaign finance
statements for committees that spend or receive $20,000 or more
per year were required to be filed electronically.)
- To make comparisons between candidates most
fair, we have removed any contribution before January 1, 2005,
both to stay within this two-year election cycle and to closely
observe the period of time when the gubernatorial race was taking
shape.
- By definition, this data only includes regulated
contributions (e.g., $500 per representative; $1,000 per senator;
$3,400 for governor; $68,000 for a state central political party).
Money flowing in from 527s or other unaffiliated or unregulated
groups is not included in these totals.
- All data presented was received in files downloaded
from the secretary of state on September 10, and October 30, 2006—major
filing deadlines. Each map shows the date of record.
- If you want to know more about the data, you
can look for yourself online at the secretary of state’s
website. Visit www.michigan.gov/sos,
click on “Elections in Michigan,” and then on “Campaign
Finance Reporting Searchable Database.” Additional data
notes—as well as numerous other data sets—are available
there.
