Your right to know, our mission to show.
VoterVantage is your only non-profit database of local political campaign finance disclosures. We provide open-source data regarding local political donations. Grassrooted here in California, we are dedicated to bringing transparency to communities across the state!
How we turn complex paperwork into accessible data for everyone.
We reach out to city clerk's offices to complete FOIA requests and obtain Form 460s—bi-annual summaries containing all relative monetary contributions for candidates.
We parse and clean these complex PDF filings into workable datasets. This transforms static pages into dynamic, queryable information ready for analysis.
We create pivot tables, charts, and graphs from the processed data. This allows voters to easily see "Total Contributions Received" and "Top Donors" at a glance.
Transparency is key to ensuring voter trust. By offering a comprehensive view of who is donating to local candidates, VoterVantage empowers voters to make informed decisions at the polls. We are a locally founded and operated organization dedicated to shedding light on the politics that affect our daily lives.
We proudly serve cities across California.
