Federal and state campaign contributions in one database!

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 19:20:17 +0000

Tired of switching between two different databases to get state *and* federal campaign contribution data? We were. So we made TransparencyData – allowing you, for
the first time, to get a clear picture of campaign contributions at both the state and federal level. Before now, there were two datasets: the OpenSecrets data focusing on federal data, and the FollowTheMoney data, focusing on state data. Now, finally, you can use to query, filter, and download this data.

These two datasets are only the beginning of what you’ll be able to query via TransparencyData. We’ve already added lobbying information from the Senate Office of Public Records, and over the next few weeks we’ll build a query interface for that dataset too. We’ll also be adding new data on a regular basis. Look for government contracting, earmarks, and congressional biographical data coming shortly.

Jeremy Carbaugh, lead developer for Sunlight Labs, gives you a quick walkthrough of the current offerings.
