Larry, do you advise on this too?

Campaign Advertising

  • What information must be included on a political disclaimer?
    • Political advertisement paid for by a candidate:

      "Political advertisement paid for and approved by (name of candidate) (party affiliation) for (office sought)."

    • Political advertisement not paid for by a candidate:

      "paid political advertisement" or "pd. pol. adv." "(name and address of the persons sponsoring the advertisement)"

    • Political advertisement not paid for by a candidate, that supports a candidate, but is not an independent expenditure:

      "paid political advertisement" or "pd. pol. adv." "(name and address of the persons sponsoring the advertisement)" "No candidate approved this advertisement."


    • I just received a flyer from Suzanne today: No Disclaimer and it does not specify what District she is a candidate. Clearly wrong and this was pointed out at the beginning of this campaign.
