A. SUMMARY At the time of initial registration, a campaign consultant must submit a separate Authorization Statements for each client. If the client retains the campaign consultant's services after the date of initial registration, The Authorization Statement must be submitted before providing any campaign consulting services to the client and before receiving any economic consideration from the client in exchange for campaign consulting services.

The Authorization Statement must be submitted no later than 15 days after being retained by a client to provide campaign consulting services.

Once a campaign consultant's services to a client are terminated, a Termination Statement must be submitted to the Ethics Commission within 30 days. After a Termination Statement is submitted, a campaign consultant may not provide campaign consulting services to--or accept economic consideration for campaign consulting services from--the client until a new Authorization Statement has been filed.

For more information, visit the Ethics Commission’s webpage on Campaign Consultants.
