Many Alaska U.S. House candidates financial disclosure forms have yet to be posted

UPDATED:: The U.S. House of Representatives lists 14 financial disclosure reports filed by the dozens of U.S. House candidates competing in the upcoming Alaska special congressional election. Some of the high profile candidates not on the list are Sarah Palin and Josh Revak.

The full list of those who have filed can be found through this search page. The reports were due May 12. Candidates who never raise or spend more than $5,000 don’t have to file. For that reason most of the candidates in the race do not have to file.

Here is what the Federal Election Commission requires from candidates for the Alaska special primary and general elections to fill out the rest of the late Don Young’s term. The regular primary and general election will follow. The FEC is a separate entity that deals with campaign finances.

The U.S. House rule requires candidates to file a financial disclosure form no less than 30 days before the election, which is June 11. The disclosures are filed with the Clerk of the U.S. House.
