If you are going to make a study, even a rough one like this journalist was, you need a sample that is representative of the population. I'm sure no one thinks that 100% of the concert attendees were female.

However, this can be explained away if the journalist simply says "the population we are concerned with is female festival attendees".

One of the things I am interested in looking at is the amount of income they get from their "outside ventures", and how the wealth of an elected official impacts their probability of victory (among other variables). I want to use wealth as a variable not correlated with campaign contributions but highly correlated with campaign expenditures. It would be even better if it could be broken into "dirty money: and clean money.

Feel free to message me as well if that is easier for you.

Keep up the great work and thanks for any help/insight you can give.

I'm a graduate student at the University of New Hampshire currently doing research on campaign finance and expenditures. Is there a way to get a list of the data , or would I have to manually look up each individual elected official?

Right. That's what my second line was saying.

I didn't edit anything, but ok.
