FEC data on this register

Committee identity and aggregates only. No Schedule A itemized donors. Claim a committee page is an equal-access $49 register placement, not Legal Publication.

District hubs on Notice Nearby can show an equal-access committee strip under the sitting-member directory. Every legally qualified committee gets the same card, the same $49.00 price, and the same one-year clock. Sitting members stay in the roster. Party is a mute text badge, not a red or blue mark.

A claimed page goes live only after Stripe payment and a signed digital compliance affidavit. The signer — treasurer or authorized agent — attests authority, accuracy as filed, register and FEC data-use policies, rights in any upload, and that this is not Legal Publication. We store the typed name, title, email, Pacific Time datetime, IP, user agent, checkboxes, and a SHA-256 of the affidavit text plus the canonical committee fields with the placement.

What this register may show

  • Committee legal name
  • FEC ID (C00…) and/or an official state committee ID with its own label — ORESTAR, Cal-ACCESS, and the rest. State IDs are never mixed into the FEC field.
  • Candidate, office sought, and party as filed
  • Committee-level raised, spent, and cash-on-hand — blank until sourced. We do not invent FEC totals.
  • Source label: FEC, the named state system, and/or Paid placement
  • Optional official website (https only) as a muted text link — same on the hub card and committee page
  • Optional official portrait on Vercel Blob — same respectful register photograph on the hub card and committee page. No party frames. No DEMO.
  • The committee’s own paid documents on the claimed page

What this register will not do

  • Ingest or display Schedule A itemized donor PII
  • Export, contact-match, or score donors
  • Host donate buttons or solicitations
  • Boost, feature, rank, or run a seasonal election mode
  • Claim newspaper status or a newspaper exception

52 U.S.C. § 30111(a)(4) and 11 CFR 104.15

Federal campaign-finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission are public under 52 U.S.C. § 30111(a)(4). The Commission’s rule at 11 CFR 104.15 restricts sale or use of that information to solicit contributions or for a commercial purpose. Notice Nearby attributes committee identity to FEC.gov when a FEC ID is present. Official state systems sit under their own statutes and keep their own labels.

This site is a paid public-notice register operated by Record of Sale, LLC. It is not a newspaper. It does not claim the newspaper exception. A register placement does not satisfy newspaper or other statutory legal-notice requirements.

Take-down is self-serve from My Notices after a magic-link sign-in. The hub card and public committee URL end. The Placement Certificate remains a historical publisher record. The hash of what ran is not rewritten. Re-claim is a new $49.00 placement.

Questions people actually ask

Do you publish Schedule A donor names?
No. Notice Nearby prefers not to ingest Schedule A at all. This register may show committee identity and committee-level aggregates when those figures are sourced. It does not export donor lists, match contacts, or score donors.
Is a claimed committee page Legal Publication?
No. Claim a committee page is Public Register Placement. It is not statutory Legal Publication, not newspaper publication, and not an endorsement. Committee counsel decides FEC and state compliance.
What statute and rule apply to FEC data use?
52 U.S.C. § 30111(a)(4) and 11 CFR 104.15. FEC reports are public. Sale or use of that information to solicit contributions or for a commercial purpose is restricted. This site attributes FEC.gov and does not offer a newspaper exception — Notice Nearby is not a newspaper.
