Payments to Vendors › RED STATE STRATEGIES
RED STATE STRATEGIES
Filed as: RED STATE STRATEGIES
What this shows. Payments to vendors are lawful, itemized disclosures that committees must report. This view lists what FEC and NADC filings report each committee paid each payee organization. It does not indicate wrongdoing. A vendor's relationship to a candidate (for example a candidate-owned firm) is shown only when a filing states it; otherwise none is asserted. Payments to individuals (staff, reimbursements) are combined into one "Individuals (aggregated)" line and no names are shown. Transfers between committees are excluded here (see Money Map).
