Bar graph showing how much campaign committee has raised so far versus how much that committee has spent in expenditures on the campaign.

This is Question 3 of 5 From the Public Ethics Commission

Also is there any way to cross check data and see if there are any overlaps between corporate contributors and campaign expenditures for campaign costs? Such as a sign maker contributes $700 to Quan then her campaign pays the same contributor to make signs for her campaign.

In-kind contributions are reported as both income (gift came in) and spending (we used it).
Interesting to see someone who offers cash to pay for a service instead of just donating it.

In-kind contributions is one way to get around the limit...

Hadn't thought of in-kind vs limits!

So far, total in-kind is under $100k. Not trivial but not dominant. About 2-3x small donations.

Worth watching as some campaigns approach limits in the last weeks.

The mathbar accomplishes this.

the mathbar accomplishes this for the numerate.
we still need an at-a-glance visual.
