Where applicable, possibly include a campaign financing map, similar to what was done at Arbor Update. From that August 7, 2006 posting leading up to Michigan's August primary :
Mayoral candidates John Hieftje and Wendy Woods raised 95% and 92% of their 2006 campaign funds, respectively, from Ann Arborites. By contrast, Ann Arbor City Council candidates Chris Easthope, Alice Ralph and Ron Suarez each raised at least 30% of their campaign funds from outside Ann Arbor, campaign finance documents [PDF file] show.
