Presidential candidate raising breakdown not consistent with adv. data table

[JonellaCulmer]

What we're after: Presidential candidate Raising overview bar chart does not reflect all candidates currently raising funds for 2020. The data is filtered by two-year period, with the latest showing as 2017-2018. There should at least be some overlap with the information presented on the Presidential candidates advanced data table.

The data included on the Presidential candidates advanced data table is from 2017-2020, which includes 2017-2018. Additionally, the presidential candidate listed on the Raising breakdown is not on the list of Presidential candidates for 2017-2020.

Relevant issue: #1950 and #2007

Completion:

• Show 2020 in pulldown
• don't break anything else

@JonellaCulmer
When you say this is not the list of pres candidates for 2017-2020, what list are you comparing this to?

[PaulClark2]

Clark's Form 2 has issues. She's indicated her election year is 2018. There's no presidential election in 2018.

I think there's a general problem with the drop down for presidential. 2017-2018 shouldn't be an option. For presidential, the options should be 2012, 2016 and 20202. The start year of those options depends on if the raising and spending bread down's are pulling two-year period data or if they are pulling four-year period data.

What Paul said.

[JonellaCulmer]

Okay, thanks. So is this work essentially the same or similar to work done in #1945, Add missing cycles to raising/spending breakdowns?

[lbeaufort]

@JonellaCulmer - the change would be pretty different from my PR because if you want the cycle options to dynamically change depending on the office sought, that's a JavaScript change and the dropdowns are currently hard-coded. The initial issue says "Include all 2 year periods even for presidential and Senate candidates" but I agree that it would be better if the cycles were dynamic.

Is this something that needs to wait for #2007 or that should be completed in tandem with it?

[jwchumley]

@AmyKort I think tandem but whoever does the work may change that once they start digging into it.

Combining with fecgov/openFEC#3214
