Why these records belong together
Federal terms join only on the corpus person_id; state roles join only on the Open States person UUID. FEC campaign records connect only through an exact FEC candidate ID. Names alone never merge people.

Earlier state role snapshot
The state layer uses the current Open States People roster and retains absent earlier identities with their original source dates. A roster absence does not establish a departure date, vacancy or complete state-legislative career history.
Connection is not causation—or judgment.
A term, campaign filing, vote, election result, disclosure, or stock transaction proves only what its cited source reports. Campaign contributions do not establish why a vote was cast; a securities transaction is not evidence of wrongdoing, intent, profit, or a conflict of interest.

How to interpret this record
Joanne Ferrary: Earlier State Legislative Record
Public office is an institution with responsibilities, boundaries and a term. A person may hold that office, seek it, leave it or appear in historical records about it. Those are different relationships.
Follow the seat through time
An office record is a useful anchor because people change while the institution continues. A current roster identifies a holder at a stated time; an election record identifies candidates for a particular contest. A vacant seat is still an office. Comparing these records helps avoid the common mistake of treating a candidate biography as proof that the person currently has governmental authority.
Keep identities and campaigns distinct
Names are not unique identifiers. A person can run more than once, seek different offices or appear with different punctuation in separate sources. Electionpedia retains the source identifiers and election context that allow a reader to check a match. A campaign committee is also a separate record: its receipts and spending should not be read as the candidate’s personal wealth.
