How to understand NYS campaign finance information?
Is there a finance person reading this?
Can anyone explain the New York State campaign finance filings?
Here's a video that walks through the filings and it is not clear what they actually mean.
Many things have no explanation and no detail.

If you search the NYS filings for "New Kings Democrats" you see https://prop.tidalforce.org/elections?nys-election-details%5Bquery%5D=new%20kings%20demo&nys-election-details%5BrefinementList%5D%5BCAND_COMM_NAME%5D%5B0%5D=New%20Kings%20Democrats&nys-election-details%5BsortBy%5D=nys-election-details%2Fsort%2FORG_AMTint%3Adesc
It shows
(query "new kings demo" sum $638,929 average $153 max $8,801)
But the search for "Kings County Democratic County Committee"
It shows
(query "kings county " sum $14,763,776 average $1,468 max $80,984)
To the general public this all looks incomprehensible.
Where is the spending explained?
This is using public funds.
