How do we get to the Office information on the Campaign Finance Document search site? #1

The [[Campaign Finance Document search site|http://phila-records.com/campaign-finance/web/]] allows for filtering by Office. That office data doesn't exist in the data sets published in the [[Campaign Finance Reports Documentation|https://github.com/CityOfPhiladelphia/campaign-finance-data-cleanup]] repo.

Can we get at this data? It would reduce our manual processing.

Bryan McHale is the master of all knowledge for the data. I'll get in touch with him.

Looks like we can't get at that data. What we're getting in the CSVs is a subset of what is available. We'll need to handle this manually for now but maybe in the future we'll be able to access it.
