Colorado state campaign finance data, made searchable for journalists and the public. Contributions and spending for statewide, state House and state Senate candidates, plus super PACs and issue committees, drawn from the Secretary of State’s TRACER system.
Most recent update: Aug. 4. The next filing date is Sept. 8. This is the last update that will include defeated primary election candidates.
Independent spending was also updated Aug. 4. Expenditures naming multiple candidates were divided equally among them.
Statewide candidates
Governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer and other statewide races.
State House
Candidate committees for Colorado House districts, with the district number on every row.
State Senate
Candidate committees for the Colorado Senate districts on the ballot this year.
Super PACs
Both committee types are in one table. Always filter on
committee_type — 527s often pass money to an IEC of
the same name.
Issue committees
Committees raising and spending money for and against statewide and local ballot questions.
Independent spending
Independent expenditures by committee and vendor, showing which candidate each one supports or opposes.
Candidate loans
Loans to candidate committees, with repayments to date and the outstanding balance.
Want the big picture first? The totals page charts the top races by money raised and spent, with each candidate broken out, plus the biggest issue committees.
Quickstart: open any table above, then use the dropdown
menus to filter — for example, city = ASPEN. Results

contributions; those ending in _exp are expenses. For custom
queries, see using SQL. For what the data covers and how
it is built, see more info.

Source: bulk data downloads from the Colorado Secretary of State’s TRACER system. Candidates typically transfer cash on hand into a new election cycle; those amounts have been removed from both the contribution and expense tables. Some large contributions are later refunded in full or in part. Questions or corrections: fishnette (at) gmail.com.
