Political party contributions
Reporting on candidate forms
House and Senate committees report contributions received from political party committees and organizations on Form 3. These contributions are itemized on Schedule A, supporting Line 11(b), regardless of the amount of the contribution.
To itemize a party contribution, the committee discloses:
- The political party’s name
- Mailing address
- Election to which a contribution was designated (indicated by checking “primary,” “general,” or “other” in the election designation box)
- Date of receipt
- Amount of receipt
- Aggregate election-cycle-to-date total of all receipts from the source
