No data here.
This could be because:
  • Our definition of “cop money” is limited. We only count money that comes directly from law enforcement PACs, meaning that bundlers, money facilitated through fundraisers, and money from lobbyists or other orgs that support police are not included.
  • State and local level campaign finance disclosures are reported through multiple different channels and different jurisdictions. The often low quality of the raw data, combined with differences in reporting requirements, means that some organizations or contributions may be missed.
