Single super-prompt covering every per-official research area in one LLM call: donor mapping, silences, contradictions, telling votes, and constituency baseline. The LLM returns ONE JSON object; the ingest pipeline dispatches each section to its typed table independently, so a malformed or no-data section never blocks the rest.

With approximately 901,304 residents, it is a deep-red district (Cook PVI R+42) that Moore won with 70.8% in 2024, succeeding Rep. Alex Mooney. The district has a median household income of $64,829 — well above the $37,585 national median — and a poverty rate of 10%. The population is 89.3% White and only 1.7% foreign-born, making it one of the least diverse districts in the nation. Homeownership is 74.7% with a median home value of $192,500. Only 26.2% hold bachelor's degrees, well below the 33.7% national average. The economy is anchored by energy (coal mining and natural gas, particularly the Marcellus Shale), healthcare (WVU Medicine system, ~30,000 employees statewide), manufacturing (chemicals, metals, automotive components), and education (West Virginia University in Morgantown). The district is car-dependent: 76.9% drive alone to work with a 26.9-minute average commute. Key local concerns include coal and natural gas industry regulation, Appalachian Regional Commission funding, opioid epidemic recovery, healthcare access in rural communities, and economic diversification. Moore's family has deep political roots in the district: his aunt, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, previously held this House seat, and his grandfather, Arch A.
