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.
