Reports To Show Cost Of Competing In Last Year's Campaigns
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — New campaign reports are about to shed more light on the price of political power.
Reports being made public Tuesday contain details on financial activity for candidates, parties and political groups involved in last year's campaigns for Minnesota offices. Some groups operate outside the traditional regulatory system and won't have to disclose donor and spending information.
The reports cover fundraising and expenses for all of 2014. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and each of his GOP challengers will list how much they spent on their campaigns. So will candidates for the Legislature, where independent groups carried a bulk of the money load.
Republicans won back the House. But Democrats swept the slate of statewide races.
