FEC
US Federal Election Commission campaign finance data from the openFEC API: federal candidates and committees, committee financial totals per cycle, filed reports, itemized disbursements (Schedule B), independent expenditures (Schedule E) and individual-contribution aggregates by size, state and employer. Committee, candidate and aggregate data only: itemized individual contributions (Schedule A rows with contributor names) are not exposed, and Schedule B contribution refunds to individuals are withheld, because 52 U.S.C. 30111(a)(4) bars using individual contributor information for soliciting contributions or commercial purposes.
