House Bill 156 became law February 2024, which made any candidate in a campaign, not required to file a campaign committee or file monthly or weekly reports, if the campaign didn’t raise or spend 1000.00 during an election. RSN has taken the time to see which school board and local government candidates in Dothan, has filed a campaign committee and has filed their required campaign finance reports. With the municipal elections 22 days away 15 candidates have no election committee formed or no financial reports whatsoever in the system. Either they have met the $1000 received or spent threshold and are not in compliance with FCPA, or even more disturbing, they haven’t spent or received a $1000 during their almost two months of campaigning. You can spend 1000.00 on a 100 yard signs for reference. Three additional candidates have committees formed but are delinquent on campaign finance reports. The Fair Campaign Practices Act ensures a fair election, that all candidate has access to what another candidate is spending, also what that candidate is receiving. Disclaimer if these candidates didn’t spend or receive under a $1000, they are in compliance. They have no shot in this election, but they are in compliance.
