All 15 candidates who ran for seats on the Fifth Osage Nation Congress submitted two campaign reporting statements during the 2016 election season.
The candidates are required to submit two statements to the ON Election Office at least 15 business days prior to the election date and a second statement is due within 15 days after the election, according to the ON election rules. The statements must report all the candidate’s donations from individuals, corporations, LLCs or any business entity whether organized by state, tribal or federal charter. The statements must also report the candidate’s campaign expenditures from the beginning of the campaign up to the statement filing date.
The ON Election Board has certified all campaign contribution reporting statements submitted by the candidates.
