Every political committee in the United States must report its spending to the Federal Election Commission. These filings — called Schedule B — list every vendor, every payment, and every purpose description. This tool pulls that data and categorizes it into the nodes of the political persuasion supply chain.
When you search for a candidate, you're seeing exactly where their campaign money went: which media buying firms placed their TV ads, which digital consultants ran their online campaigns, which data firms targeted their voters. This is the business of political persuasion, made visible.
The categorization is based on disbursement descriptions reported to the FEC. Some entries may be classified as "Other" when the description doesn't clearly match a supply chain category. All figures are sourced directly from federal filings and are publicly verifiable at fec.gov/data.
