Selection

The series profiles the Democratic and Republican candidates for President.

Production

Purple States hired David Matorin to devise a video format. He designed a 'slide show' framework using archival footage and photos.

Purpose

To move beyond campaign soundbites to the issue that’s fueling our unproductive and distracting dispute about immigration: how the global economy works (or doesn’t) for our businesses and citizens.

Financing

The Carnegie Corporation funded the research. Purple States and its supporters financed the production.

Editorial Control

Purple States conceived and created the videos. In the final stages, Politico’s editors provided input.
