Presidential campaign finance explorer

Hey, I think it's election season, and you know what that means. It's time to dig into campaign finance data from the Federal Election Commission. The Washington Post gives you a view into the amount of money raised and spent in both camps, where it's coming from and where it's going. They start with the high-level aggregates, and as you scroll down, you get the time series, followed by the breakdowns for money raised.

The spending categories at the bottom are the most interesting bit. They cover advertising and mail, down to consulting and events. Payroll was a lot higher than I would've thought.
