About Campaign Tracker

Political campaign intelligence for everyone

Campaign Tracker was built by political professionals who spent years manually tracking campaigns. We built the tool we always wanted - so you can spend your time on the work that actually matters.

Our mission

Tracking a campaign used to mean hours of manual digging - pulling reports, cross-referencing filing systems, and piecing together a picture that was already out of date. We built Campaign Tracker to take that work off your plate entirely.

Whether you're a campaign manager watching your opponents, a finance director tracking your own numbers, a journalist following the money in a competitive race, or a researcher analyzing trends across hundreds of committees - Campaign Tracker gives you the visibility that used to take a team of analysts. Instantly, in real time.

What makes us different

Speed

Campaign filings posted in minutes, not days. Follow the money as it moves - before the news cycle catches up.

Accuracy

Parsed directly from official campaign filings. No estimates, no projections - just the data as reported to the federal government.

Alerts

Know the moment a committee you follow files. Get ahead of the news cycle with instant email notifications on every new report.

The data, at scale

Our database covers thousands of candidates, tens of thousands of committees, and millions of filings - updated continuously as new reports are submitted and campaign activity unfolds.
