gov.fec-totals

Aggregate financial summaries (receipts, disbursements, cash-on-hand, debt, transfers, refunds, contributions by source, etc.) per cycle for federal candidates (scope=candidates) or committees (scope=committees). Filter by candidateId / committeeId, cycle, office (P/S/H), party, state, district. For candidates, electionFull=true rolls all cycles of a single election into one row (e.g. a presidential cycle spans 4 years). Use this for top-line "how much did they raise/spend" answers without paging through millions of itemized transactions.
