I am working on a research project that examines campaign contributions to criminal justice elections. Montgomery County, PA provides campaign contribution reports on their website as PDFs. These reports detail the amount contributed, the recipient of the donation, and whether the donor is an individual, business, or Political Action Committee (PAC). Students will be trained to transcribe/quantify the information from the PDFs. Students will then help develop an activity that teaches students how to visualize and understand the structure of campaign finance networks.
