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.

Notably, Rose initially opposed the bill in May over the SALT deduction cap increase (calling it a 'bailout for Democrat Governors paid for by red states'), but reversed to support the final version, creating a cross-pressure between donor-aligned fiscal policy and constituent material interests.",
