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.

IDENTIFIER MATCH

These campaign records connect through an FEC candidate ID already attached to the person's sourced federal term—not through a name match. A filing record does not prove ballot qualification.

Official certified history

2016–2022 federal election results

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.

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.
