As we prepare to receive the first financial reports of the 2012 election cycle we've put together a page with links to background information on the Presidential race.You will find listings of all the individuals who have filed statements of candidacy for President in 2012 along with historical tables showing activity through the first quarter of off years in previous campaigns and a list of the largest fundraising quarters from the past. When reports come in we will also have a link here to get summaries from each of the filings, just as we did in 2008.
We're also working on a Presidential map for 2012 that will be just like the 2008 version - giving summary totals and allowing for displays and searches of individual contributions by zip code.
You can find the background page by going to the Press Office page and clicking on the blue Backgrounders for Reporters box and choosing "2012 Presidential Campaign Information". Or, I suppose you could click the link at the top of this post. . .
