Campaign finance

person_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 unique person's fundraising activity over time.
