9 contributions of $1,000 or more ($18,500) with no A-1 found
Each contribution of $1,000 or more must be reported on an A-1 within days of receipt, ahead of the quarterly report. These appear on a quarterly report, but no A-1 entry from the same contributor for the same amount within a week of the date was found. The largest: $5,000 from Ironworkers Local Union #1 PAC on 2025-07-24.
What to check- The A-1 may list the contributor under another spelling or a different amount (a split check).
- A contribution received and returned within the same period needn't be reported on an A-1.
- Search the committee's A-1 filings on the State Board of Elections' site to confirm.

What to check- The receipt date is what the committee reported; a correction or a typo there changes the count.

- The Board decides on fines and can waive them (inadvertence, clerical error, days late).
