Federal campaign-finance research
Documented federal campaign-finance facts from the Federal Election Commission — candidate identity, authorized committees, reported totals, itemized contributions, and independent expenditures. This is an evidence layer: receipts, dates, amounts, and committees as reported. It does not score members, allege corruption, or claim that any contribution caused any vote.
Supported election cycles: 2016–2024. Federal FEC data only. Coverage overview →
Search itemized receipts
Filter reported contributions by contributor, employer, occupation, state, cycle, amount, and date — over a fast local sample or the complete FEC record, live.
Support / oppose spending
Spending reported as supporting or opposing a candidate — never a contribution to the candidate.
Money around a member
A member's linked FEC candidate, committees, reported totals, and cross-cycle comparison.
Source & semantics
What the data is, how it is linked and aggregated, live-vs-local, and what it does not establish.
What the corpus contains
Which cycles and FEC data classes are ingested locally, and where live FEC research applies.
All figures are as reported to the Federal Election Commission. Reported employer and occupation are contributor-supplied, not verified corporate affiliation. Independent expenditures are reported by the spender and are not contributions to the candidate. Temporal proximity between money and legislation does not establish causation or improper influence.
