VPAP's Latest Data Visualizations

Lobbyist Compensation: A Primer

Each year, Virginia lobbyists must disclose how much they were paid, but they have wide latitude in how they calculate compensation. VPAP's visualization explains why the data makes it difficult for the public to compare spending.
If Money Were Votes
Which presidential candidate raised the most money -- or had the largest number of donors -- in each of Virginia's 2,453 voting precincts?
Updated: High Demand for Mail-In Ballots
Early voting doesn't begin until mid-September, but the pandemic has increased demand for mail-in ballots across Virginia. As of August 23, the final number of requests was 75% higher compared to the total four years ago.
In July, Trump Narrowed Virginia Fundraising Gap
In July, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden reported more than $1 million in donations from Virginia residents. President Donald Trump narrowed the gap by reporting $913,578.
VPAP on the Radio
This week's topics:
1. Sanitation Workers Strike for Front-Line Pay in Virginia Beach
2. Arlington Considers Renaming Henry Clay Park

Each week, VPAP and RadioIQ team up to bring you a pair of human interest stories culled from the headlines of VaNews. The segments are produced by WVTF in Roanoke and carried on public radio stations across the Commonwealth.
