Plumb the depths of the Mass. campaign finance database!

Nick Roy showed off his splunking into the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) database at our last Democracy and Dog Food meeting.  He moved the data over to Google Data Studio and is working on a better system of keeping the data up to date. This setup should be easier to maintain and share, and it handles a lot of data pretty easily. Here are the two dashboards he setup:

• OCPF Data – Recipients: https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/5f3e9dad-83ac-42a8-9e10-c1d6d8f5e117
• OCPF Data – Contributor: https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/9c3ce626-a743-44e8-b47a-4f85ac388d8b

If you want to help him find needles in the OCPF haystack or have other suggestions, email him at Nick Roy <me@nickroy.org>.
