HOW WE DID IT

The Center for Responsive Politics analyzed donations to candidates, parties, PACs, super PACs, and 527 organizations in selected states based on data released electronically by the Federal Election Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. The National Institute on Money in State Politics analyzed donations to candidates, parties and ballot measure committees in the same states based on data reported to state disclosure agencies.

The organizations merged their data to come up with the major campaign finance players in California, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Vermont.

Individual federal donors do not include contributions from family members and exclude contributions from candidates to themselves.

Reporters supplemented the data with other contributions, such as those to state PACs, in some instances. The Iowa data here were collected by IowaWatch and include money given to state PACs, but do not include donations to local elections.

Federal data is current as of July 2012. State data is current as of July 14, 2012.
