Question
How do I enter payments the candidate made using personal funds?
Answer

If the candidate made a purchase for their own campaign, they may be reimbursed within 21 days by the campaign. Enter this reimbursement to the candidate using the Monetary Expenditure function. Enter the candidate as the vendor paid and in the expense item description, enter what was purchased and where the candidate purchased it, with the vendor’s name and address.

If the candidate will not be reimbursed within 21 days, enter a purchase the candidate made for the campaign with their personal funds using the In-kind contribution function, or, if the campaign has a loan agreement, the In-kind Loan function. Either way, include what was purchased and the name and address of the merchant in the description field.
