Reading the join without overclaiming

This page does not rank Wichita against other cities, does not call 2014 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Kansas. Two columns matched. The city of the contributor is not the city of the campaign. A KS address does not mean the money supported a Kansas candidate. Amended reports can move either number. If live hubs disagree, the newer FEC extract controls.

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and non-individual sources are omitted. See Wichita, KS, the 2014 election cycle, Kansas campaign finance, and all FEC ties. Dollar figures are FEC itemized individual contribution aggregates, not USAspending awards. Source: FEC.gov.
