The Public Campaign Finance Board was created as a bipartisan unit within the NYS Board of Elections to implement and oversee the NYS Campaign Finance Program.
PCFB is a program designed to maximize the impact of small donations to candidates in your district running for state office. $5 is all it takes to begin to be eligible for matching funds. Your small contribution can make a big impact. Visit https://t.co/8jO5S8eFP2 to learn more

Tuesday Tip: Keep a copy for yourself! As treasurer, you're responsible for submitting copies of all campaign materials to the PCFB when you file the post-election disclosure report.
Save a copy of everything disseminated by the committee so you have this disclosure organized.
Tuesday Tip: Disclosure reports aren't written in stone and can be amended if needed. A treasurer must legally attest to a filing’s accuracy upon submission. All past versions of a report will always be publicly available at https://t.co/e7iJTsd7MJ.
Transparency is key when it comes to campaign finance. Curious who’s been contributing to participating candidates? Our public reporting database can help you stay in the loop. Visit https://t.co/EImT8wiexx to learn more.
