authority requiring that Senate campaigns must now file all required FEC reports directly with the FEC. Because reports filed with the Secretary of the Senate will no longer satisfy the legal requirements for filing, our office will no longer accept reports on behalf of the FEC and will not transmit to the FEC any reports delivered to us, unless we had already received the report by the time the bill was signed, or the report had already been sent and postmarked to us as of the date of enactment, consistent with FEC guidance.</p> <p>For relevant guidance from the FEC, please see <a href="https://www.fec.gov/updates/senate-committees-must-file-fec-and-follow-mandatory-efiling-rules/">FEC guidance</a>. Should you have any questions please call the FEC at 202-694-1130 or 800-424-9530 (press 5), or the Senate's Office of Public Records at 202-224-0322. Remember, however, that the Office of Public Records can no longer help you comply with the legal requirements for filing campaign finance reports unless a report has already been sent to us prior to enactment.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> </div> <p> <strong>Candidates for the United States Senate</strong> </p> <p>Within 15 days after an individual becomes a candidate he/she must designate a principal campaign committee to receive contributions and make expenditures on the candidate's behalf.
