Why these records belong together

FAIL-CLOSED

Federal terms join only on the corpus person_id; state roles join only on the Open States person UUID. FEC campaign records connect only through an exact FEC candidate ID. Names alone never merge people.

FEC ID MATCH

Connected only when an FEC result row carries an exact candidate ID already attached to this person. Coverage currently includes the FEC's 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 biennial workbooks, not every election in the person's career.

Source: Federal Election Commission, Federal Elections 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022. Underlying state election-office results are compiled in the FEC workbooks.

READ THE LANES SEPARATELY

Connection is not causation—or judgment.

A term, campaign filing, vote, election result, disclosure, or stock transaction proves only what its cited source reports. Campaign contributions do not establish why a vote was cast; a securities transaction is not evidence of wrongdoing, intent, profit, or a conflict of interest.
