About this data
Daylight — Follow the Money — maps campaign-finance contributions — who funds whom — for U.S. federal and state races.
SOURCES
Federal: Federal Election Commission bulk data.
State: each state's official disclosure agency.
Bios: Wikipedia · committee descriptions from the FEC committee master.
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
Unitemized small-dollar money isn't published in FEC bulk data, so totals are itemized receipts (individual gifts generally > $200, plus all PAC money).
Money is shown across the loaded cycles combined per candidate, not split by election.
READING THE FLOW
●green = money received (flows in, on the left).
●red = money given (flows out, on the right). Node colour = industry.
