After lapse, AZ's site shedding light on 'dark money' finally shows donor details [View all]
Information about the donors behind big-spending campaigns is now available for the public to view.
At least for some campaigns.
It comes after The Arizona Republic on Monday noted the absence of information on the Arizona Secretary of State's "See the Money" website from independent expenditure committees. Until this campaign cycle, these groups could keep their funding sources private. But because voters in 2022 approved Proposition 211, a law that requires disclosure from these so-called dark money groups, they now must name names.
The disclosure applies to any donor who gives $5,000 or more to any campaign that has spent at least $50,000 on a legislative or statewide campaign, including ballot measures. For local elections, those amounts are cut in half.
