I'm not sure if this is exactly what you wanted, but it is possible to
get fairly detailed financial information by candidate.  I use links
to the Center for Responsive Politics and Political Money Line to
provide details about state political figures, e.g. Charles Schumer's
2004 Senate race:

(note the option in the sidebar menu for in- and out-of-state breakdown)

Hope this helps,
