It’s Nice to Have Friends in High Places!
Many of us are looking forward to seeing the campaign finance filings tomorrow of the slew of candidates running for various city offices. I asked a former Urban Reporting student, Matt Sollars, who is now working as a spokesman for the Campaign Finance Board, about the timing of the releases tomorrow. Here’s what he had to say:
“Filings are posted to our website as they come in. We tweet net contributions @nyccfb as soon as we have that information. We regularly update the site — next one today will be mid-afternoon (3pm or so). We’ll have updates to the website every couple of hours tomorrow.
COB tomorrow is likely 7pm or so. Anyone who files after that point (midnight is the deadline) will be available on Thursday morning about 10 am.
You can easily scan the summary page below to see who’s filed — Look for the number 8 in the third column (“Last statement submitted”).

We also send out an email when the site is updated. It includes a running list of the candidates who have filed.”
Good information, thanks, Matt!
