Nonpartisan research tracking money in U.S. politics and campaign finance data
Open Secrets
OpenSecrets is a nonprofit organization created in 2021 from the merger of the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in Politics.
The organization tracks and publishes comprehensive data on campaign finance, lobbying, and political spending to strengthen democracy through transparency. Their award-winning website, OpenSecrets.org, serves as the most comprehensive free resource for federal campaign contributions, lobbying data, and analysis of money's influence on elections and public policy.
OpenSecrets maintains databases on congressional campaign finance, lobbying expenditures, revolving door employment between government and private sector, and personal financial disclosures of elected officials. Founded originally in 1983 by bipartisan former senators, the organization provides data used by journalists, researchers, and citizens to understand how money influences American politics across federal and state levels.
