County commissioner candidates file their campaign finance reports with Washington County, not with the state board. The county's Campaigning page is the filing officer's own posting location, listed by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board under Minn. Stat. 211A.02 subd. 6. Separately, commissioners file an annual Statement of Economic Interest with the state board; that filing is linked under Financial disclosure.
