Shared Money Patterns

These views compare pairs of actors (A/B columns) by overlapping funding behavior. Use them to answer: who shares the same donor base, and by how much?

Donor Co-Giving Network

Nodes: 0 | Edges: 0 | Donor pool: 0 | Source: quick_mode

Focus-first mode is enabled: top edges only by default, labels hidden until selection/zoom. Click a node to highlight neighbors. Shift-click a second node to show shared neighbors.

View Max edges Max nodes Min shared amount Min shared count Node search Ego mode Show labels

How to read: Donor A and Donor B are two donors connected because they gave to overlapping targets. Shared Amount is the summed overlap across those shared targets.

Donor A	Donor B	Shared Amount	Shared Targets	Shared Committees	Shared Candidates
No donor co-giving edges for current thresholds.

Committee Similarity Network

Nodes: 0 | Edges: 0 | Committee pool: 0 | Source: quick_mode

Clustered layout highlights coalition structure. Use “Collapse communities” to inspect inter-community links.

How to read: Committee A and Committee B are linked when they draw money from overlapping donors. Jaccard measures overlap breadth; Dollar Overlap indicates overlap intensity.

Committee A	Committee B	Shared Amount	Shared Donors	Jaccard	Dollar Overlap
No committee similarity edges for current thresholds.

Candidate Competition Networks

State edges: 0 | Federal edges: 0 | Combined edges: 0 | Bridge matches: 0

State Candidate Competition

View Max edges Max nodes Min shared amount Min shared donors Node search Ego mode Show labels

How to read: Candidate A and Candidate B are connected when they share donor entities. Shared Amount is combined overlap from those shared donors.

Candidate A	Candidate B	Shared Amount	Shared Donors	System Mix
No state candidate competition edges for current thresholds.

Federal Candidate Competition

View Max edges Max nodes Min shared amount Min shared donors Node search Ego mode Show labels

How to read: Candidate A and Candidate B are linked by shared donor entities in federal data under the current filters.

Candidate A	Candidate B	Shared Amount	Shared Donors	System Mix
No federal candidate competition edges for current thresholds.

Combined Candidate Competition

View Max edges Max nodes Min shared amount Min shared donors Node search Show only cross-system edges Ego mode Show labels

How to read: Combined table splits overlap by source: State Share, Federal Share, and Cross Share show where shared funding relationships come from.

Candidate A	Candidate B	Shared Amount	Shared Donors	System Mix	State Share	Federal Share	Cross Share
No candidate competition edges for current thresholds.

Influence Bridge Networks

These views connect campaign finance activity to external systems (lobbying filings and IRS 527 data) to reveal bridge relationships that are not visible in campaign records alone.

Lobbying Influence Graph

Nodes: 0 | Edges: 0 | Client pool: 0

Layered layout: client -> entity -> donor/payee -> committee.

527 Ecosystem Graph
