Campaign Finance Data Explorer
To link directly to the Campaign Finance Data Explorer, go here.
Our dataset currently includes all contributions (monetary and in-kind) to every candidate in the 2019-2023 electoral cycles for Philadelphia municipal elected office. For years prior to 2019, donations of $50 or less are excluded. While we work hard to clean, standardize, de-duplicate, and quality check our data (see our Methodology page for more info), we make no guarantees about the data’s accuracy. We welcome any feedback or corrections.
Tips for using the tool:
In order to use the Sector or Contributor filters, you need to first unselect (ALL) and then you can select an option (you can also type names in to search for specific contributors). The Contributor filter only lists entities that contributed at least $1,000 for the given set of other filter parameters selected.
Hover your cursor over the numbers in the Top Contributors list to see short descriptions of contributors which were collaboratively researched by Philly Power Research volunteers. The colors of the numbers correspond to the sector colors shown in the center panel.
If you want to reset the dashboard to its original settings (which show all elected officials and candidates’ fundraising for 2022), you can click on the “reset” button, which is the third button from the left in the bottom right corner of the dashboard.
