Delaware lets school board candidates who plan to raise or spend less than $5,000 file a Certificate of Intention instead of forming a campaign committee. They do not file campaign finance reports unless they go over $5,000.

Filed a Certificate of Intention, so no campaign finance reports are required and none are filed.

• January 22, 2026Certificate of Intention: Chanda Jackson, CF ID 05006527
• March 4, 2016Certificate of Intention: Dr. Chanda Jackson, CF ID 05003700

From the Delaware Campaign Finance Reporting System (opens another website), checked November 2, 2026. Rules from the Department of Elections (opens another website). Not every past election has a filing listed.

From machine transcripts of board recordings. The words can be wrong; check the recording.
