I did a little work on what it would look like to programmatically tie violator information to campaign contribution data via opensecrets.org.

This followed a great session that Kelsey Breseman led for us at the ESIP Summer Meeting today. I got intrigued by the use case of tying violator information developed through the EDGI data to campaign contributions based on a Congressional District of interest. I worked from the notebook I've committed here to explore how this could be done with the OpenSecrets API. While I don't think that's the best route and would work on something with the bulk data, I think it could yield an interesting dimension if you were to bring it all into your system wholesale.

I'm intrigued by what you guys are doing and would like to offer some help. I'm not a great data slinger by any means, but I know how to do some stuff reasonably well and can generally get the job done. I'm at a point in my career where I'm looking around for some other things to put my time on, and environment justice, particularly as it relates to indigenous tribes and peoples is a passion of mine. Please let me know if I can help.

This is a great and timely offer, Sky!  Thank you.

There are many directions we can go from here with the Environmental Enforcement Watch work.  The project meets on Tuesdays, 2 p.m. eastern, 11 a.m. Pacific.  If you can make that time I can send you the link.  We should set up a developer team meeting, too.

I am also interested in tying in non-EPA data, such as the opensecrets.org that you mention.

Great! I can join you this week and hear about what's going on in the project. Please do send along the link.

Cheers, Sky

@skybristol - awesome! Here's the link: https://edgi-video-call-landing-page.herokuapp.com/https://zoom.us/j/85087739115 Looking forward to taking a closer look at what you've put together here.

ericnost commented 2 years ago

@skybristol This is a wonderful start! A lot of what you started to put together here would be incorporated into a separate notebook and/or into our report card generation process, so I am going to take your 5a and create a new repo for it (and give you access) so that we can concentrate on it there. Stay tuned!
