In the coming months, people who don't believe in democracy or your rights will expect you to forego your power and just get over it. They will dismiss you and tell you everything is just fine. Don't forget who you are. You are the product of the first nation based not on tribe or race or monarchy or religion, but based on the idea that we are all equal. You have in your DNA the bold ideals of free people whose forbears struggled and fought and died, not just for the idea of democracy but for a true love and commitment to each other. There are people who want to destroy that love and commitment and make us hate and distrust each other. But we will build a community that resists that effort every day and in every way, and we will win.
The mission of NEBCD is to encourage an educated electorate and get out the vote.
DATA SETS AND CALCULATORS
How politically diverse is your neighborhood? Enter your address to see the political party of the thousand voters closest to you.
Database includes campaign finance data for nine states: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. You can search all state-level candidates, political action committees (PACs) that are active in that state, and the donors that support them. Texas is our first state to also include lobbying data.
State-level politicians include your governor, state attorney general, and legislators who serve in your state House of Representatives and state Senate. If they serve in your state capitol, you’ll find detailed data on their contributions and expenditures here. You won’t yet find federal candidates, which include the president, members of the U.S. Congress, and most politicians working in Washington, D.C. We look forward to adding federal data soon. You can see big-picture data, like the top 10 donors in your state this election cycle or total contributions and expenditures by party. You can also find detailed transaction history for a single person or organization.
