including how much he paid CA . in fact CA listed the Tillis campaign on their website

Cambridge Analytica now features Tillis' successful campaign to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan as a case study on its website.

"CA Political was contracted to provide modeled data and data analysis on partisanship, turnout, issue importance and personality profile for North Carolina GOP in the race between Republican Thom Tillis and Democrat Kay Hagan," the case study states. "Harnessing our unique data-rich voter file, we were able to accurately predict partisanship, turnout, issue importance and build psychographic profiles for all voters in North Carolina. We produced clusters of voters based on the modeled data to maximize campaign impact, which enabled the creation of tailored messages directed at those audiences."
