campaign summary

We regularly scrape campaign finance reports from the FEC and state campaign finance portals (find the list of all sources here). This table includes summary data from the campaign 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.
last updated
The date of the most recent campaign finance data gathered for a given campaign.
amount raised
The total contribution amount associated with a given campaign. For general election and run-off campaigns, this number will be inclusive of any contributions made during prior stages. Note: in all federal elections and in most state/local jurisdictions, the total amount raised is inclusive of both itemized and unitemized contributions. But in a small number of jurisdictions, the total amount raised will only reflect itemized contributions.
itemized contribution count
The number of itemized contributions in our database associated with a given campaign. For general election and run-off campaigns, this number will be inclusive of any contributions made during prior stages.
