campaign itemizations

We regularly scrape campaign finance reports from the FEC and state campaign finance portals. This table includes itemized contributions from the finance reports we’ve gathered.

Description
campaign id
Unique ID maintained by Deck representing a specific campaign. We define a campaign as an instance of a specific candidate running for a specific office or party nomination. If the same candidate ran in a primary and general election in both 2018 and 2020, they would have four campaign entries across those contests.
transaction id
Unique ID maintained by Deck for each contribution record. If a person donates in the primary, the contribution will be associated with the general election as well. As such, if you need to dedupe contribution records across a primary, general and runoff, you'll do so with the transaction id.   
date
Date of the itemized contribution record.
type
The type of contribution captured in this record. Options include "direct," "loan," "in-kind," "candidate self-funding," and "other."
amount
Amount of the contribution.
contributor name first
The contributor's first name, according to public campaign finance records.
contributor name last
The contributor's last name, according to public campaign finance records.
contributor state
The contributor's state of residence when they made the contribution, according to public campaign finance records.
contributor zip

The contributor's industry of employment at the time of the contribution, according to public campaign finance records.
