New tool highlights candidate's campaign contributions

Intended to help inform voters ahead of the November 8th Election

10/28/22

Hi, everyone!

I hope you all are enjoying the Homecoming and Halloween festivities. Also, reminder: Election Day is November 8th!

I wanted to share a new (beta) tool I built to make it easier to stay informed — a campaign finance explorer. Candidates are required to disclose campaign contributions, but it takes some effort to make this valuable data accessible and clear.

I hope this tool makes it easier to digest a candidate’s contributions. The beta version highlights the contributions of our Mayor, who has raised the most money this election cycle.

Take a look and let me know what you think! If I have time, I’ll make pages for some other candidates.

The tool will eventually be hosted on Open Tallahassee, a digital publication that will feature political commentary, along with and local, homegrown stories and community affairs. If you’re interested in helping, please join us! Send me an email: shelby@shelbytlh.com

Enjoy your weekend,

Shelby
