* Political Party County Central Committee ward and township committeepeople have the option to file their campaign finance reports with their county election authority- Board of Election Commissioners in the case of St. Louis City- or online with Missouri Ethics Commission. The St. Louis City Board of Election once posted pdfs of ward committeepeople campaign finance reports to the Board’s website. That is no longer the case. To inspect records, you must visit the Board in person.

** Jennifer Florida was 15th Ward Alder and considering a run for Board President when she was asked by Mayor Francis Slay to resign and accept appointment as Recorder of Deeds to fill vacancy caused by resignation of Recorder Sharon Quigley Carpenter. Carpenter remained on Democratic Primary ballot for re-election and won Primary. Recorder Florida then filed as an Independent to run against Carpenter in General but Carpenter was elected.
