Data

Campaign Contributions Database for Local Elections. This database contains over 5.5 million campaign finance contributions, primarily from mayoral and city council elections for cities in over 30 states. Currently, this collection focuses on cities with populations over 100,000, and at least 5 years of campaign finance records. Some smaller cities are also included subject to data availability. This is a working project, and I will expand this database as resources permit. If you are interested in this data, please email me at [firstname]@stanford.edu.
