Where the money went Each expenditure carries a short description of what it was for, written by the campaign. We sort those descriptions into a fixed set of categories; one expenditure goes in one category, so the amounts add up to Austin Carroll’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

  • Printing & mail $30,424 60%
  • Advertising & media $12,717 25%
  • Field & voter contact $4,080 8%
  • Office & operations $2,002 4%

Loans

Campaign loans
Lender Amount Date Received Outstanding Repaid

Of the $40,250 lent, $28,750 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $11,500 was drawn before them and is still listed because it has not been fully repaid — so it counts as debt this campaign owes, not as money it raised.

Each loan shows its balance as of the candidate's most recent filing; repayments since then appear when the next report is filed.
