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.

A seat with his name taped on the back was placed at the front. Mackenzie scheduled a competing telephone town hall at the same time — his first — and took questions from only 7 prescreened callers. On June 2, about 125 protesters (mostly seniors) demonstrated outside his office, holding signs depicting him as the Cowardly Lion. Mackenzie's office dismissed critics as 'out-of-touch liberals.' During this period, Mackenzie was actively issuing press releases, opening four district offices, holding meetings with interest groups like the National Association of REALTORS®, and appearing at controlled events — demonstrating availability for controlled platforms while avoiding open-floor constituent confrontation.",

The commissioner 'thought the money was coming' and learned otherwise only months later. Mackenzie never issued a public statement notifying affected communities.

"district_summary": "Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District encompasses the Lehigh Valley region, including all of Lehigh, Northampton, and Carbon Counties, plus parts of Monroe County. With approximately 775,601 residents, it is a highly competitive seat (Cook PVI R+1, R shift +3) that Mackenzie flipped from Democrat Susan Wild in 2024 with 50.5% of the vote. The district has a median household income of $82,392 — more than double the national median — and a poverty rate of 7.1% (ACS) to 10.5% (Data USA). The population is 69.8% White (Non-Hispanic) and 20.8% Hispanic, with 95.2% U.S. citizenship and 11% foreign-born (84,900 people). Median home values are $292,600 with a 69.2% homeownership rate. 32.8% hold bachelor's degrees, roughly at the national average. The economy is anchored by healthcare (Lehigh Valley Health Network, St. Luke's University Health Network — both among the largest employers), manufacturing (Mack Trucks, B. Braun Medical, Lutron Electronics), logistics/warehousing (Amazon, FedEx Ground hubs along I-78/81 corridors), and education (Lehigh University, Moravian University, Penn State Lehigh Valley). The district is car-dependent: 74% drive alone to work with a 26.6-minute average commute. The Spanish-speaking population is significant (101,287 households), along with Arabic and Chinese-speaking communities. Key local concerns include healthcare access, Medicaid/SNAP (85% of Allentown children rely on at least one program), manufacturing job retention, and affordability. Mackenzie serves on the House Committees on Homeland Security, Foreign Affairs, and Education and Workforce.",
