Executive Committees
Florida law provides that each political party shall have a state executive committee. These state committees may establish county executive committees.
Candidates for county executive committee elections must file with the Supervisor of Elections during the qualifying period, which no earlier than noon of the 71st day, or later than noon of the 67th day, preceding to a Primary Election in the presidential election year (F.S. 103.091(4). Members of executive committees are not considered “public officials” under Florida’s Government-in-the Sunshine laws; however, they are subject to the same reporting requirements like for other candidates under s. 106.07, F.S.
Effective November 1, 2013, “an individual seeking a publicly elected position on a political party executive committee who receives a contribution or makes an expenditure shall file a report of all contributions received and all expenditures made. The report shall be filed on the 4th day immediately preceding the Primary Election.” (F.S. 107.0702) A report is required even if there has been no activity during the reporting period. In those cases, you are required to file a Waiver of Report. Reports must be filed on or before the due date. Fines for late filing of reports are automatic and must be paid from personal rather than campaign funds. It is your responsibility to ensure that campaign reports are accurate, complete, and comply with all laws and regulations regarding campaign finance. A complete list of Campaign Filing Requirements can be found on the Florida Division of Elections website.
