Campaign finance

campaign_summary

We work with partners to gather and process campaign finance data at the state and federal levels. We then match that data to our People and Elections datasets so we can make better targeting and messaging recommendations to Matchbook users. For Stacks users, these connections enable numerous additional use cases – such as forecasting and better-informed donor prospecting.

This table includes person-level data – summarizing a campaign's fundraising activity over the course of an election.

Note: we consider primary and general election campaigns to be distinct. Primary campaigns include only fundraising activity up to the primary election date. General election campaigns include all fundraising activity up to the general election date – including any fundraising activity from the primary.
