Note: The individual names have been standardized by removing any suffix of "MR.", "MS.", "MRS.", or "SR." and then removing any middle initial that appears at the end.
The party of each individual is then determined by whether more of their contributions were made to committees tagged as Democrat (blue) or Republican (red).
If the number of contributions were equal, the individual is designated as non-partisan (green). For example, following are all contributions by individuals
whose name contains "BLOOMBERG":

In the above, the NAME listed is the name before it has been standarized. After being standardized, the first through the fifth, eighth, and ninth names will be
"BLOOMBERG, MICHAEL" and the total number of contributions for the 7 entries will be 9, 1, and 9, to Democrat, Republican, and non-partisan committees, respectively.
"BLOOMBERG, MICHAEL" is therefore designated as Democrat. The above list reveals some other issues. Bloomberg listed EXECUTIVE and OWNER as occupations. The
program currently list the occupation that is alphabetically last. Finally, the contributions for "BLOOMBERG, EMMA" and "BLOOMBERG, EMMA B." are likely for
Bloomberg's eldest daughter.
