Individuals and businesses donate to 2020 Osage Congressional candidates

All 15 candidates seeking Osage Nation Congressional office in the 2020 General Election submitted their first campaign reporting statements to the Wahzhazhe Elections Office by the May 15 deadline.

The Election Board reviewed then certified all 15 statements and those documents are available for view on the Election Office website. All 15 individuals are seeking Congressional office in the June 1 General Election for six open seats in the Legislative Branch with four-year terms.

All candidates are required to submit two statements to the Election Office at least 15 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.
