1. Data Characteristics

This application filters Federal Election Commission (FEC) data for the 2019-2020 election cycle as specified by the user. The data consists of three main types of records - contribution records, committee records, and candidate records. A contribution record links to an associated committee record via the CMTE_ID field. The committee record then links to an associated candidate record (if there is one) via the CAND_ID field. Following is a description of all of the fields available in each of these three types of records.

g = group
h = show
o = sort
e = search
t = trim

# = displayable field
+ = displayable field (extended)
- = link field
The characters g, h, o, e, and t in the left column indicate whether the given field can be used for grouping, show (display), sorting, searching, and can be trimmed. These are explained further in the following examples. The #, +, or - in the next column indicates whether the field is displayable. The reason that all fields are not displayable is that the amount of FEC data is massive. When downloaded on October 3rd, the file that contains contributions by individuals in the 2019-2020 election cycle was 6.7 gigbytes and contained over 35 million records. Even before the committee and candidate data is merged in, this overwhelms the memory and processing capacities of most personal computers. To address, this only the fields marked by a #, +, or - are used. Those marked by # are always displayable, those marked by + are displayable on personal computers but not the web version of this application (due to lack of sufficient memory on the server), and those marked by - are used only to link the contribution, committee, and candidate records. Even after doing this, the individual contributions must be stored and handled in two separate files, one for data before 2/1/2020 and one for data from 2/1/2020 and later.

The third column shows the actual field names from the FEC files. The next column shows the field names that are used and displayed by the Shiny application. Finally the last column gives a description of each field.

2. Committee Contributions

Following is the first page that comes up when the application is launched:

Campaign Finance Data, 2019-2020 - initial Committee page

Looking at the input fields in the sidepanel on the left side, the value of "Committee" in the Donor select list indicates that this list is for contributions from committees (to candidates & independent expenditures). The value "TRANS_AMT" in the "Sort by" select list indicates that the list is sorted by the transaction amount. The header of the resulting list on the right shows that the data contained 259,755 rows with total transactions of over $939 million. Also, their tranaction dates (TRANS_DT) were between 2015-05-07 and 2020-10-01. The NA(TRANS_DT) value of 1,056 indicates that there were also 1,056 rows with TRANS_DT set to NA (not applicable). These 1,056 can be included by setting the first date in the "Date range" field to any date that's later than the second date, say 3000-0101. This disables the date filtering and the header now shows there to be 260,811 (259,755 + 1,056) rows.

The first row under the headers shows that the largest committee contribution was for over $9.5 million and was from AL MEDIA to PERSIST PAC. Googling "AL MEDIA" and OpenSecrets leads to this page which shows that AL Media has made total payments of nearly $30 million in the 2020 election cycle. Googling "PERSIST PAC" and OpenSecrets leads to this page which states that Persist PAC is a single-candidate PAC in support of Elizabeth Warren (D). Unfortunately, the FEC record for Persist PAC does not show the link to candidate Warren so the link does not show up in the first row. I may attempt to add these unspecified linkages from another source at some point. Until then, the user has google any such information, if desired. As can be seen from the listing, the only candidate linkage that appears on this page is Dan Sullivan connected with NRSC. Googling "NRSC OpenSecrets" (without the quotes) leads to this page which shows that NRSC stands for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Googling "Dan Sullivan" reveals that he is the junior Senator from Alaska. It's not clear why Dan Sullivan is listed as the linked candidate except that that is who is listed in the associated committee record.

In any event, note that the screen is not quite wide enough to display all of the columns. This is partially due to the fact that the list contains the first 900 records by default and the width of the columns is being set to contain the widest entry for each column. The width of some of the columns can be narrowed in two ways. One is to set the value of the "Maximum Column Width" input box to something less than 40. This will set the maximum width of the fields designated by a 't' in the first column of the first table on this page. For example, setting it to 20 would shorten the committee name "EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY VICTORY FUND (E" above to "EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SA". A better way narrow the columns might be to set the "Maximum Total Rows" input box to only the number of rows that you really wish to see. For example, setting it to 70 will cause the following lines (28 to 70) in the listing to look as follows:

Campaign Finance Data, 2019-2020 - second Committee page

As can be seen, the column widths of NAME, CITY, and CAND_NAME are noticeably less. That's because each is set to the maximum width for the first 70 rows rather than the default of the first 900 rows. In any event, the other input fields can be seen in sidepanel on the left side.

The above two screenshots show each contribution made by committees. As can be seen, some committees made multiple contributions to the same group. For example, lines 41 to 43 above are all contributions from WATERFRONT STRATEGIES to SMP (Senate Majority PAC). It's possible to aggregate these multiple contributions by selecting NAME, CITY, STATE, CMTE_NM, CMTE_PTY, and CAND_NAME in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following screen:

Campaign Finance Data, 2019-2020 - Committee grouped by NAME, CITY, STATE, CMTE_NM, CMTE_PTY, CAND_NAME

As can be seen, the largest combined contribution made by a committee to the a single group was over $40 million from WATERFRONT STRATEGIES to SMP (Senate Majority PAC). The output shows that WATERFRONT STRATEGIES also made contributions to VOTEVETS (line 15), WOMEN VOTE! (line 23), EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY VICTORY FUND (line 27), and CAROLINA BLUE (line 28). In fact, googling "WATERFRONT STRATEGIES" and OpenSecrets leads to this page which also shows contributions to these groups. To find the largest combined contributions to ALL groups, set CMTE_NM, CMTE_PTY, CAND_NAME, CAND_PTY, and CAND_ST in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following screen:

Campaign Finance Data, 2019-2020 - Committee grouped by CMTE_NM, CMTE_PTY, CAND_NAME, CAND_PTY, CAND_SY

As can be seen, the largest combined contribution made by a committee to all groups was over $55 million by NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee). As previously mentioned, most of the FEC committee records don't indicate an associated party. You can look up information on which party a committee has supported in the past by searching for the committee at this page. It may be necessary to look up what the committee initials stand for and search for that. For example, NRSC, SMP, and AB PAC stand for National Republican Senatorial Committee, Senate Majority PAC, and American Bridge PAC. Then you can often see what party it supports by clicking on the "Party Split by Cycle" tab. If the information is not found there, it can also often be found by clicking on the "PAC to PAC/Party" or "Indpendent Expenditures" tab. There is also information on the "viewpoint" of Super PACs at this page.

In looking up the first 10 committee names in the list above, 4 give chiefly or exclusively to Republicans and 6 give chiefly or exclusively to Democrats. The 4 that give to Republicans are NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee), AMERICA FIRST ACTION, INC, CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION, and SENATE LEADERSHIP FUND. Hence, it would appear that the contributions given by committees and PACs are fairly well divided between the parties. This is likewise shown by the chart on this page. The corresponding Democrat committees are the DSCC (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) and the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee). Entering each of those committees into the "Search CMTE_NM" text input and pressing the Submit button shows that the total contributions for the DSCC and DCCC are $4,192,373 and $3,724,481, respectively. Neither are linked to a candidate.

One other interesting item shown on the page above is that the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) is linked to Dan Sullivan and the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) is linked to Christopher L Jacobs. Dan Sullivan is the junior Senator from Alaska and Christopher L Jacobs is the U.S. Representative for New York's 27th congressional district. It's unclear exactly what position both hold in those committees.

3. Individual Contributions

As previously mentioned, the file that contains contributions by individuals in the 2019-2020 election cycle (downloaded on October 3rd) contained over 35 million records. The dates of those records range from 2000-06-16 to 2030-06-30. Only 14 of the records are after 2020-09-30 so it's possible that some or all of them are errors. In addition, 55 of the records contain NA (not applicable) for the date.

The data is also available in 19 separate files, ordered by date. Selecting "Individual >= 2020-0603" in the Donor select list will reference the data from 2020-0603 and later. This date was chosen because it includes the last 4 of the 19 files and begins just 3 days before Biden won the nomination on 2020-06-06. Setting the "Maximum Total Rows" input to 50 and pressing the Submit button results in the following output:

[1] "Sort by TRANS_AMT, Descending"

[1] "CAMPAIGN FINANCE DATA:  Individual >= 2020-06-03"

As can be seen, the largest individual contributions since 2020-06-03 has been 4 contributions of $12.5 million each from Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam to the Senate Leadership Fund. According to
Wikipedia, Sheldon Adelson is the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation. Also, going to this page and selecting the "Party Split by Cycle" tab shows that the Senate Leadership Fund spends most of its funds opposing Democrats.

The above list shows the top contributions made by individuals. As can be seen, some individuals made multiple contributions to the same group. It's possible to aggregate these multiple contributions by selecting NAME, CITY, STATE, CMTE_NM, and CMTE_PTY in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following output:

As can be seen, the top total contribution by an "individual" to a single group since 2020-06-03 is over $36 million by WINRED to TRUMP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN COMMITTEE. According to Wikipedia, WinRed is "an American Republican Party (GOP) fundraising platform endorsed by the Republican National Committee" meant to "compete with the Democratic Party's success in online grassroots fundraising with their platform ActBlue". Hence, it's likely listed with the individual contributions since it is a combination of individual contributions. In any case, it's possible to look at the largest individual contributors, along with their employer and occupation by selecting NAME, CITY, STATE, EMPLOYER, and OCCUPATIONS in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following output:

The far-right column was generated by looking up the chief party that the individuals support on this page. It shows that all of the individuals down to number 18, Michael Bloomberg, are conservative contributors except for number 8, Tom Steyer. These include Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, Richard Uihlein, Jeff Yass, Kelcy Warren, Timothy Mellon, and Stephen Schwarzman. Even following Michael Bloomberg, 8 out of 12 of the individuals not previously mentioned are conservative contributors. These include Stephen Wynn, Patricia Duggan, Kenneth Griffin, Paul Singer, Diane Henricks, Ronald Cameron, Geoffrey Palmer, and Craig Duchossois. The 4 liberal contributors are James Simons, Jeff S. Skoll, Carrie Penner, and Haim Saban. Hence, in summary, 15 of the 21 individuals listed above are conservative contributors.

Also visible is that most of the large contributors are investors or founders, owners, and/or top executives at large companies. Note that there is some duplication of names (marked by ^). For example, Richard Uihlein is listed on lines 7, 11, and 39. The duplication is caused by differences in the occupation listed (CEO, CEO/OWNER, and OWNER) and the missing middle initial on line 11.

It's possible to look at the committees receiving the largest total contributions by selecting CMTE_NM, CMTE_PTY, CAND_NAME, CAND_PTY, and CAND_ST in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following output:

The far-right column was generated by looking up the committee's viewpoint on this page or this page. The "Rep/Dem (2/1)" on line 13 indicates that the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS CONGRES... gave contributions to Republicans and Democrats in about a 2 to 1 ratio. The list shows that unlike the top individual contributors, the top committees to which they gave were fairly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans or possibly even favoring Democrats. The numbers to the right of some party names indicated committees with similar functions in the two main parties. ACTBLUE and WINRED (1) are broad committees for individual contributions, NRSC and DSCC (2) are associated with the Senate, NRCC and DCCC (3) are associated with the House, and the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE and DNC SERVICES CORP / DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL (4) are national committees.

It's possible to look at the candidates receiving the largest total contributions by selecting CAND_NAME, CAND_PTY, amd CAND_ST in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following output:

As can be seen, the largest portion of contributions went to NA (not applicable) which is linked to no specific candidate. At over $57 million, Biden has received a good amount more in individual contributions than Trump since 2020-06-03. As previously mentioned, DAN SULLIVAN is chiefly associated with contributions to the NRSC and CHRISTOPHER JACOBS is chiefly associated with contributions to the NRCC. After that are visible some of the top candidates in Senate elections like MARK KELLY (D) and MARTHA MCSALLY (R) in Arizona, MITCH MCCONNELL (R) and AMY MCGRATH (D) in Kentucky, JAIME HARRISON (D) and LINDSEY GRAHAM (R) in South Carolina, SARA GIDEON (D) and SUSAN COLLINS (R) in Maine.

4. Committee to Committee Transactions

Selecting "Com2Com" in the Donor select list will reference all of the committee to committee transfers from the 2019 to 2920 election cycle. This data is described on this page as follows:

The itemized records (miscellaneous transactions) file contains all transactions (contributions, transfers, etc. among federal committees). It contains all data in the itemized committee contributions file plus PAC contributions to party committees, party transfers from state committee to state committee, and party transfers from national committee to state committee. This file only includes federal transfers not soft money transactions.

As can be seen, there are a number of large contributions to the a committee named "COMMITTEE TO ELECT DAN TAXATION IS THEFT" for the Libertarian candidate, Dan Behrman. There's also a number of contributions in 2019 and early 2020 to the "TRUMP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN COMMITTEE" and "DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC." committees and to Democrats who were running for the Democrat nomination. If desired, these can be filtered out using the "Date range" input.

Also, the header information for the list show that the data contains 1,836,154 records for a total of over $4 billion between the dates of 2001-02-01 and 2020-10-08. This compares with 259,755 records for a total of nearly $1 billion between the dates of 2015-05-07 and 2020-10-01 for the committee contribution data referenced in section 2 above.

As can be seen, the top 4 total transactions involve contributors or recipients associated with Trump. No totals associated with Biden appear in the list. In fact, entering BIDEN into the "Search NAME" input gives the top total transaction associated with Biden as the contributor to be $335,000 from BIDEN VICTORY FUND to CARPENTERS LEGISLATIVE IMPROVEMENT COMMI. Entering BIDEN into the "Search CMTE_NM" input gives the top total transaction associated with Biden as the recipient to be $285,000 from UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS INTER to BIDEN VICTORY FUND.

It's possible to look at the committees receiving the largest total contributions by selecting CMTE_NM, CMTE_PTY, CAND_NAME, CAND_PTY, and CAND_ST in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following output:

As can be seen, the top recipients of total transactions tended to be Republican with the top two Democrat recipients being line 5, SMP (Senate Majority PAC) and line 10, DNC SERVICES CORP / DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL. Interestingly, the list includes the committee KANYE 2020 for Kanye West. The BDY for his party stands for Kaynes own political party, the 'Birthday Party'.

It's possible to look at the candidates receiving the largest total contributions by selecting CAND_NAME, CAND_PTY, amd CAND_ST in the "Group by" select input. Doing that and then clicking the Submit button results in the following output:

As can be seen, the largest portion of contributions went to NA (not applicable) which is linked to no specific candidate. The next largest contributions were over $102 million to Trump. As previously mentioned, DAN SULLIVAN is chiefly associated with contributions to the NRSC and CHRISTOPHER JACOBS is chiefly associated with contributions to the NRCC. The other two largest recipients of the top 6 were Dan Behrman of Libertarian party and Kayne West of the Birthday party. Following Kayne is Kelly Loeffler (R) who was appointed to the U.S. Senate to succeed incumbent Senator Johnny Isakson and is running in a special election to finish his term. After that comes Steve Scalise (R), Minority Whip of the House, Shannon Liss-Riordan (D), candidate for Senate, and Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader. Interestingly, Biden is not in the top 50. In fact, he is number 112 with total transactions of $154,613. As previously mentioned, however, Biden has received over $57 million since 2020-06-03 in individual contributions.
