For the latest campaign finance disclosures, go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For the campaign finance disclosure calendar, go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note on the disclosures: Ballot advocacy disclosures tend to be incomplete. \u00a0They may be\u00a0most reliable as an indicator of advertising purchased with cash. Organizations can send countless\u00a0communications to their members without reporting an expenditure. But if the organization purchases a Facebook ad to reach out to non-members, it has\u00a0to be disclosed. \u00a0Staff time to run an advocacy campaign is generally not disclosed, perhaps because it isn’t practical to distinguish between time spent on an advocacy campaign and other pursuits. \u00a0After 2004, the Rhode Island ACLU sued the State Board of Elections (American Civil Liberties Union v. Rhode Island Board of Elections<\/em>, C.A. No. 04-487-T) when the State Board of Elections queried it about inadequate disclosures. \u00a0The ACLU observed that it receives general funding from groups (such as its coalition partners) and cannot allocate how much of that funding goes to a particular ballot advocacy campaign.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n November 4, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Matthew Schweich, $300<\/a><\/p>\n November 3, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Matthew Schweich, $1,901.20<\/a><\/p>\n October 30, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Timothy Murphy, $1,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 29, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Angus Davis, $2,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 3, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Alan Hassenfeld, $12,500<\/a><\/p>\n September 25, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Aram Garabedian, $1,000<\/a><\/p>\n September 18, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Aram Garabedian, $5,000<\/a><\/p>\n September 14, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Timothy Murphy, $1,000<\/a><\/p>\n June 30, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n John Hazen White, Jr., $23,000<\/a> (an in-kind, not a cash, contribution)*<\/p>\n John Hazen White, $15,000<\/a><\/p>\n *This was for a billboard. \u00a0The matching billboard by the no campaign was not reported as either a contribution or\u00a0expenditure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n November 3, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n National Education Association PAC for Education, $10,000<\/a><\/p>\n International Brotherhood of Teamsters, $5,000<\/a><\/p>\n Woonsocket Teachers Guild, $1,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 27, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals\u00a0Solidarity Fund (RIFTHP), $5,000<\/a><\/p>\n Rhode Island American Civil Liberties Unions (RIACLU), $5,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 20, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n National Education Association PAC for Education, $10,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 15, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n New\u00a0England Laborers Management Trust, $10,000<\/a><\/p>\n Rhode Island\u00a0Brotherhood of Correctional Officers, $2,500<\/a><\/p>\n Rhode Island Brotherhood of Police Officers, $2,500<\/a><\/p>\n October 6, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Teamsters Local 251, $5,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 2, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Rhode Island AFL-CIO COPE, $5,000<\/a><\/p>\n Rhode Island AFL-CIO, $10,000<\/a><\/p>\n October 1, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Iron Workers Local 37 Target Fund, $2,000<\/a><\/p>\n West Warwick Teachers’ Alliance, $1,000<\/a><\/p>\n Cranston Teachers’ Alliance, $1,000<\/a><\/p>\n August 12, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n United Nurses & Allied Professionals, $3,000<\/a><\/p>\n Rhode Island Hospital United Nurses & Allied Professionals, $2,500<\/a><\/p>\n Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Rhode Island State Council, $300<\/a><\/p>\n August 11, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ, $2,000<\/a><\/p>\n August 8, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Rhode Island Association for Justice, $10,000<\/a><\/p>\n July 10, 2014 (first filing date; not the contribution date)<\/strong><\/p>\n District 1199 SEIU, $4,000<\/a>\u00a0(May 22, 2014)<\/p>\n United Food and Commercial Workers Defense Fund, $5,000<\/a>\u00a0(May 22, 2014)<\/p>\n AFSCME AFL-CIO People PAC, $10,000<\/a>\u00a0(May 15, 2014)<\/p>\n United Nurses and Allied Professionals (UNAP), $10,000<\/a>\u00a0(May 7, 2014)<\/p>\n Rhode Island American Civil Liberties Unions (RIACLU), $10,000<\/a>\u00a0(May 1, 2014)<\/p>\n Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals\u00a0Solidarity Fund (RIFTHP), $10,000<\/a>\u00a0(May 1, 2014)<\/p>\n Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, $10,000<\/a>\u00a0(April 3, 2014)<\/p>\nVote Yes Campaign<\/h2>\n
