[TRU Research] Campaign website preview

[Jim Walseth]

Good morning,
Seeing updates to the master spreadsheet (thanks Stephen), I republished
the "viz" and verified it looks correct in the OrcaForAll
<https://viola-heptagon-5t5t.squarespace.com/> site. (64 employers listed
now.)
I also have time today to do more data/viz tasks. I did observe that the
viz is pretty useless on my phone, there may be a way to customize it for
small screens.
Best regards,
Jim
