Closed nstory closed 4 years ago

Contributions to federal candidates: https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?contributor_employer=boston+police ^ contributions by people who wrote in their employer "boston police" (also catches "boston police dept")

https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?contributor_occupation=POLICE&contributor_employer=boston ^ contributions by people who wrote "boston" in their employer (e.g. "City of Boston") and "police" in their occupation

Contributions to Massachusetts state candidates: https://www.ocpf.us/Reports/SearchItems ^ I can't make a link to the search results. a search for "boston" + "police" returns 3,423 results from 01/01/2000 to present

It would be cool if we could:

  1. provide the usual data table showing the records
  2. break down contributions by political affiliation: Democrat, Republican, Other; show the total $ for each and the % share
