Every member of Congress, on the record.

Donor groups we track

Each group is tracked through its own FEC committees, listed below with their IDs. Totals cover the 2025–26 election cycle for current members only. Groups are kept separate: we never add different organizations into one number.

How we know

This prototype uses only government records. Anyone can download the same files and get the same numbers.

Members

Names, party, state, chamber, gender, years served and FEC candidate IDs come from the public-domain congress-legislators dataset, current members file, downloaded Nov 13, 2026. Years served counts time in either chamber up to today.

Money

All money figures cover the 2025–26 cycle and come from FEC bulk files last updated Nov 8, 2026:

• Direct contributions from a group's PAC: file itpas2, transaction type 24K, net of refunds. A negative net means the money was returned, and the site shows it as "refunded."
• Earmarked contributions: money from individuals that a group's PAC routed to a campaign. File itcont, transaction type 15E, where the conduit is the group's PAC, as reported by the member's own campaign committee.
• Outside spending for or against: independent expenditures by the group's super PACs, file itpas2, types 24E (for) and 24A (against).
• Lines the filer marked as memo entries are left out, so nothing is counted twice.

What is not counted yet

• Money sent to joint fundraising committees, leadership PACs or caucus PACs rather than the member's own campaign.
• Individual donors who give on their own without a conduit, even if they are members of a group.
• Spending reported after the FEC's last bulk update.

Receipts

Each member's page links to FEC search pages for every figure. One known difference: a group's own report of money it forwarded can show more line items than the campaign's report of what it received, because of timing and refunds. Next week we add a side-by-side check of both reports.

Promises and votes

No promise scores are shown yet. Scoring starts with a pilot of 10 members, and each score will show the exact campaign quote, its archived source, and every vote used. Until a member has at least 3 scored votes, the site says "Not yet tested."

Words we use

"Aligned" and "not aligned" describe votes against promises. The site never says a donation caused a vote.

Corrections

No corrections yet. Every fix will be listed here with its date, what changed, why, and who flagged it. Old values stay in the history.

Error reporting opens with the public launch.
