Money

Every contribution as filed with the FEC, state and city commissions. Amounts, donors, employers. Cross-filings kept separate, never summed twice.

Votes

Every roll call, committee to floor, with the outcome, the margin, and the party split. Sponsorships counted separately. A yes is a yes; the bill text is one click away.

Words

Press releases, posts from verified accounts, interviews. Quoted verbatim, dated, linked to what they were about.

How a file reads

Threads

Pick a subject — housing, immigration, defense — and read the complete record on it, oldest to newest, all record kinds together.

Episodes

Records cluster into arcs by rule. Each arc carries a machine summary. Every sentence cites the records it came from; tap it and check.

Over time

The same question, answered across years in the official's own words. Statements, money, and votes on one subject, in order. We line up the dates. You decide what they mean.

Append-only

Nothing is quietly edited. Corrections supersede. Both stay visible.

Receipts on everything

Every record links to its source, with the retrieval date and a hash of the raw file.

Officials only

People who hold or seek public office. Private citizens are out of scope.

Your representative has a file.

Now so do you. A short note when new records land. No commentary, no fundraising asks.
