The flood of campaign emails is over, and will recede into its normal trickle of one or two a day instead of three or four from every campaign every day. That’s because the deadline for federal races for the first quarter of the year was March 31. Those financial numbers will be available on April 15. The deadline for statewide, legislative and a host of other races was April 2. Those numbers are due on the state website on April 9.

You can see more analysis of these and other legislative seats here.
