Campaign Finance Reporting, Candidates in Medfield Town Election

The Office of Campaign and Political Finance is the independent state agency that administers Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 55, the campaign finance law. The Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) was established in 1973, though portions of the campaign finance law were on the books in Massachusetts as early as 1884. The campaign finance law (MGL Chapter 55) is a comprehensive statute governing the financing of political campaigns in the Commonwealth at the state, county, district and municipal levels. Significant changes to the state campaign finance law were made in 1994, 2009 and 2014.

Specifically, candidates who report to OCPF are those seeking statewide, legislative, county and district office, Governor's Council candidates and two groups of municipal candidates:

• Candidates for mayor, city council or alderman in the state's 14 cities with populations of 65,000 or more...
• Candidates for mayor in cities with populations of less than 65,000...

Other municipal candidates in Massachusetts file their reports with their local election officials, but are still subject to oversight by OCPF.

The Pre-Election Finance Reports received by Medfield Town Clerk's office are public records and are currently posted on the Town Clerk website.
