Funding
Abbett did not file a campaign finance report with the Marion County Board of Elections as of October 25, 2016.[4]
School board candidates in Indiana who received more than $500 in contributions or made more than $500 in expenditures had to have a principal committee. This committee was designated by a candidate to accept contributions and make expenditures to promote him or her for the election. Each committee was required to have a chairperson and a treasurer, and no contribution or expenditure could be accepted or made on behalf of the candidate's committee without the authorization of the chairperson or treasurer.
Once the $500 threshold was reached, the candidate had to also file a Statement of Organization form no later than at noon, 10 days after the candidate exceeded the limit. The requirement to form a principal committee and file a statement was lifted for candidates who did not meet the $500 threshold requirement. The pre-election report was due October 21, 2016, and the annual report was due January 18, 2017.[5]
