The

Virginia Public Access Project

(VPAP) has just updated the campaign finance data for our local elections.  Now the VPAP database includes the June 4th financial reports covering fundraising activity for April and May 2007.  On the VPAP website you can get contribution profiles on all the

Charlottesville City Council

and

Albemarle County Board of Supervisors

candidates.

In the most recent reports, the largest donations of $2,000 and above are as follows:

* VPAP has two donor records form

James A. Morris

under

real estate

and

trucking

.

One of the new features on VPAP’s website is the ability to map candidate contributions.  It will be interesting to see how much support comes from outside the candidates’ home locality.  Here is a sample map for one candidate showing that their contributions come from Nelson and Albemarle.
