#MapLight
Sorry to everyone who was patiently awaiting the Frey and Fateh reports (among others). City elections staff confirms - MapLight is broken.

The Fateh report is all ready to go and I'm ready to press the button whenever the city confirms it's working again.
Probably no truth to the rumor that the mountain of money Frey & Co are dumping on this election has broken the campaign finance reporting system.

A campaign treasurer tells me the city's MapLight filing system has had technical issues since at least 11 PM last night (when they attempted to file). Seems to be a widespread and ongoing issue affecting many campaigns.

Sergey Brin's name doesn't appear once in MapLight's IPO filing, but his nonprofit is about to get a big lift thanks to the drug developer's debut.
New from me on allll the ties between MapLight + Brin, plus a new company tied to Catalyst4 execs: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My campaign finance summary is updated now to reflect pre-general reports, for both candidates and PACs.

You'll notice new columns for IE spend.

MapLight is fixed now (but only very recently, so it may be a bit for some reports to trickle in). (1/2)

A new City Council candidate for Ward 1 has filed in MapLight - Darla Krutzig. I have not been able to find any further information on this campaign.

Would like to see more candidates having websites or SOMETHING about who they are and why they are running instead of just seeing a registration on MapLight. Especially when you’re in tech! Makes me think you’re not all that serious.
A new Ward 10 candidate has registered in MapLight, Jackson Hampton. Jackson is a Senior Data Engineer at Optum. Jackson is the second challenger to Council Vice President Aisha Chughtai.

It's a minor quibble, but if they weren't going to wait for Burnett's campaign finance report (late due to the Maplight outage) before pushing out this story, they should have noted that her number was outdated.

I did some hyperparameter tuning, however, my goal was to reduce the # of parameters.
I reduced layers, dims, etc. of MolSetRep (www.nature.com/articles/s42...) and tested it on Caco2_Wang (tdcommons.ai).

Tuning it down to 62.5k params, I ~matched chemprop's performance with MAE of 0.332 ± 0.008

Following this announcement, Ward 8 is now officially an open seat race. There are at least two candidates so far - Soren Stevenson (who lost against Jenkins by 38 votes in 2023) and Josh Bassais.

MapLight also shows Anthony Scott running, but I've seen nothing further. (3/4)

(In theory I think MapLight is a great idea. In practice I can basically never get the information I'm looking for and I don't know why.)

• Your numbers for progressive council candidates seem low compared to what's in Maplight. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

• The McDonald's owners have actually contributed over $90K to council candidates and over $26K to Frey. I'm happy to share my data if you'd like.

MapLight just launched recently. Most of the reports are at the city's temporary campaign finance site, which was the bridge between Hennepin County and MapLight: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=257ecd03a4d14c8bae5869a59052dacf
