# Minn. Stat. ch. 211A *Minnesota statute chapter under which county candidates report campaign money to the county auditor.* **Minn. Stat. ch. 211A** is a chapter of the Minnesota Statutes. An at-issue item in the project's Sherburne County package states that county candidates in [[Minnesota]] report campaign money to the county auditor under this chapter, not to the [[Campaign Finance Board]]. It also states that [[county attorney]] is a nonpartisan office whose candidates report at the county level.[^1] From that filing route, the item concludes: "There are no state filings to search for Kathleen Heaney, or for any Minnesota county attorney."[^1] The record assembled for this article does not include the chapter's text or its enactment and amendment history. Nor does it identify the legislators, parties or administrations that enacted, amended or maintained it. It therefore does not establish when or by whom the county-level filing arrangement was adopted.[^1] ## What According to at-issue item AI-Sherburne-043, ch. 211A is the statute under which county candidates file campaign-finance reports with the county auditor rather than with the state's Campaign Finance Board.[^1] The item names the statute as its source and revisor.mn.gov as its source domain. The Revisor's text of the chapter is not among the sources available to this article.[^1] ## Where The item places county candidates' campaign-finance filings with the county auditor, not with the state board. It concludes that a search of state filings returns nothing for [[Kathleen Heaney]] or for any other Minnesota county attorney.[^1] ## In the at-issue record Item AI-Sherburne-043 sits in the Sherburne package, section *II. The Two Offices (31–60)*, at rank 43. It sets the county-auditor filing route under ch. 211A beside the absence of any state-level filing for county attorneys. The item describes the arrangement as leaving the record with "the county's own filing cabinet."[^1] It anchors that point to a March 2025 White House presidential action on eliminating information silos.[^1] The characterization is the item's own. The record here does not establish how any particular county's filings are kept, or whether they can be searched by other means.[^1] ## In the Minnesota record ### What - County candidates report campaign money to the county auditor under Minn. Stat. ch. 211A, not to the Campaign Finance Board, per at-issue item AI-Sherburne-043.[^1] - The same item describes county attorney as a nonpartisan office in Minnesota.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: The White House, *Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos* (March 2025): the federal anchor cited by at-issue item AI-Sherburne-043 (Sherburne package), which carries the item's statements about ch. 211A filing with the county auditor. The presidential action does not itself establish the content of Minn. Stat. ch. 211A. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/stopping-waste-fraud-and-abuse-by-eliminating-information-silos/
