Andrew Tripp, former legislative chief of staff in North Carolina, has launched a campaign finance startup called Electafile. The platform aims to simplify the process of campaign finance reporting and compliance for candidates and campaign professionals. Tripp recognized that many candidates were making mistakes on their filings due to the complexities of state-mandated forms and software. Electafile provides a simple platform for candidates to report the information required by law. Tripp’s company has been in development for nearly three years and has steadily expanded its user base. Tripp said he feels gratified when users tell him how much the platform helps them. Electafile aims to make campaign finance reporting more accessible and transparent for all individuals involved in political campaigns.
