Tracking who gives what to NC lawmakers
Starting Monday, you'll see something slightly different when you read @NCCapitol stories.
Posted — UpdatedRepublican House Speaker Tim Moore, for example, pulled in more than $500,000 in donations in the last election cycle from donors such as Nationwide Insurance and the North Carolina Farm Bureau. Democratic House leader Larry Hall, meanwhile, received more than $600,000 from the House Democratic Caucus, his own personal coffers and other contributors. Incidentally, the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers contributed $10,000 to both lawmakers.
We're calling our tool Donor Reveal, and it's intended to shed a little more light on the influence of money in North Carolina politics.
It won't be the last addition to @NCCapitol's suite of tools, applications and regular features designed to hold government accountable and provide more context to our political reporting, so expect additional functionality in the coming months.
In the meantime, have fun exploring the data alongside all our regular coverage, and stay tuned for more.
