PAC Reports

The PAC Reports page displays the e-filed campaign finance reports of political action committees (PACs) registered in Massachusetts to provide an overview of the political fundraising and spending for these committees in a given year.  The analysis information goes back to 2004, the year e-filing commenced for PACs.

Use the "Select a Period" dropdown list to select a year to review.

The summary PAC results are displayed in a block format.  The name and CPF ID number of the PAC is listed at the top of the block.  The PAC's report information is displayed using the following key:
  • Period - This field indicates the period covered by the report.  Click on these links to view the PAC's reports:

    • PP:  Pre-Primary Campaign Finance Report,

    • PE:  Pre-Election Campaign Finance Report, or

    • YE:  Year-End Campaign Finance Report.

  • Start - The beginning date of the report.

  • Receipts - The total receipts for the reporting period.

  • Expenditures - The total expenditures for the reporting period.

  • End - The ending date of the report.

  • In-kind - The total in-kind contributions (goods or services donated) for the reporting period.

  • Liabilities - The total liabilities for the period.
Each PAC's total receipts, expenditures and in-kind contributions for the year (all reports totaled) are displayed at the bottom of the PAC's block.

If the PAC filed on paper or failed to file, a note stating, "Report not e-filed" will appear under the PAC's name.
