Methodology

Public V2 release

Goydar's active public V2 release is V2 historical 2016-2026, a six-cycle public-record feed for 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2026.

V2 includes reported contributions, reported earmarked or conduit flows, reported transfers, and reported independent expenditures when they match an approved tracked committee and a reviewed transaction classification.

V2 excludes individual donor names, donor fingerprints, row-level donor records, unapproved tracked committees, superseded amendments, memo duplicates, unclassifiable independent-expenditure rows, and private V3 donor-network aggregate rows.

The tracked committee methodology source is tracked-committees/v1.csv.

FEC contributor information must not be used to solicit contributions or for commercial donor lists.
