Intro: Tobacco interests maintain a strong presence in California policymaking through spending millions of dollars on campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures. All of this information is public information and is required to be reported to the California Secretary of State.
The Database of Campaign Contributions of Tobacco Interests is a searchable database of contributions from tobacco interests to Members of the California Legislature. It contains data from the 2001-2002 election to the present and is searchable by Legislator name, legislative district and county.
Quarterly updates on tobacco interests’ spending are produced every three months to provide information about how much money tobacco interests spend, who they make contributions to and what bills they lobby on. Every two years, a comprehensive report for the complete election cycle is produced. Below are the reports organized by election cycle.
