Candidate Campaign Finance Reports

Fundraising and Expense Information from the Candidates

---

by Walker County News Today staff

As the March 2018 Primary Election date approaches, we decided to take a look at the campaign finance reports filed by candidates that will be on the ballot in Walker County.  You can see the candidates’ full reports by clicking on the links below.

These reports are required by state law.  Candidates can obtain the required forms and instructions for proper completion on the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) website.

Local candidates file their reports locally while candidates for statewide and regional office file their reports directly with the TEC.

These reports and the totals listed below are for the six-month period from July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.  The deadline for filing reports was January 15, 2018.  Since the filing deadline fell on a holiday, the deadline was extended to January 16.  The courthouse was closed due to weather on that date and on the following date so many of the reports were not filed until the County Clerk’s office reopened on January 18^th.

The candidates listed below are on their party’s primary election ballot seeking a place on the general election ballot for countywide office.  Totals are rounded to the nearest dollar amount.
