Network Graph Analytics
Donor edges source: bulk_receipts
Nodes: 542 | Edges: 400 | Donor->Committee: 200 | Committee->Candidate: 200
Weighted degree is the sum of connected edge weights for a node in the active graph. Edge weights can be dollar amounts or match-confidence scores depending on relationship type. Committee->candidate edges represent committee-level receipts linked to candidates via committee linkage tables, not direct committee-to-candidate transfer transactions.
Balanced mode hides weaker links in dense views to reduce overlap. Full detail restores every edge.
Power Players view: top nodes by contribution volume and their direct connections. Committee->candidate links show committee receipts associated with a candidate committee link, with estimated donor provenance where available.
Node detail panels show relationship type, metric units, and edge-level notes (including estimated donor source attribution on committee-candidate edges).
Three-column donor → committee → candidate flow diagram. Ribbon width represents contribution amount. Use the controls below to adjust how many donors and candidates are shown.
Grid of top donors (rows) vs. top committees (columns). Darker cells indicate larger total contributions between that donor-committee pair.
Committee-to-vendor expenditure network. Node size reflects total spending. Pink nodes indicate vendors that also match lobbying entity/client records.
Full four-column money pipeline: donors → committees → candidates + vendors. Shows how contributions flow from donors through committees to both candidates and vendor expenditures.
Donors giving to both state (green, left) and federal (blue, right) committees. Lines connect donors to the committees they contribute to, revealing cross-level giving patterns.
IRS 527 political organizations (pink) and their matched financial flows to Illinois committees and candidates. Reveals dark money pathways from tax-exempt political orgs into state-level campaigns.
Search for any donor, committee, candidate, or vendor and see a focused Sankey diagram of money flow around that entity.
