Searchable Mass. Political Contributions Database

[welshTerrier2]

interested in seeing if your friends or neighbors have been backing local candidates in Massachusetts ?? you can put in their last name and see how much and to whom they gave ...

contributions to candidates for federal offices are not included ... contribution history includes the last few years but does not yet reflect contributions made this year ...

here's the website: http://www.efs2.cpf.state.ma.us/EFSprod/servlet/ContributionSearchInit

after the page loads, click "continue" and then when the subsequent page loads, click "search contributions"

2. hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

who funds those political committees??? sometimes you'd think they dropped out of the sky but . . . here's the record

http://www.efs2.cpf.state.ma.us/EFSprod/servlet/CandidateCommitteeSearchInit?p_SearchType=BQ+Committee

"Mass Citizens for Marriage" is interesting . . . of course some of these so-called "committees" are named under some innocent cloak that is a far cry from what their agenda may be . . .

3. The records are quite spotty....

Many contributions do not appear. Contributions that my spouse and I have made over the past few years do not show (local races).
