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.
Now I have all the source materials needed. Let me compile the final JSON deliverable.

"district_summary": "Kentucky's 5th Congressional District encompasses all of southeastern Kentucky — the heart of Appalachia and the Eastern Kentucky Coalfield. It spans 29 counties bordering West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. With a population of approximately 743,000, it is the most rural district in the United States (76.5% rural) and the second most impoverished congressional district in the nation, with a 24.3% poverty rate in 2024. The district is overwhelmingly White (93.7% non-Hispanic), with a median household income of $45,798 and a homeownership rate of 72.2%. Only 16.0% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. An astounding 44% of residents rely on Medicaid and 23% rely on SNAP. Rogers has held this seat since 1981 — 45 years — making him Dean of the House. With a Cook PVI of R+33, it is the most Republican district in Kentucky. The district has more black lung benefit recipients than any other congressional district, and the coal industry's decline has shifted employment toward healthcare, which is now the largest sector.",
