As Sunshine Week 2025 continues, we turn our focus to the critical area of campaign finance. At OpenSecrets, we are dedicated to tracking the flow of money in U.S. politics, providing citizens with the data needed to hold elected officials accountable.
The 2024 presidential election serves as a stark illustration of the influence of money in politics . Kamala Harris's campaign, for instance, raised over $1.15 billion [[link removed]] , while Donald Trump's campaign amassed approximately $464 million . [[link removed]]
These substantial sums highlight the importance of transparency in understanding who finances our leaders and what they might expect in return.
Moreover, outside spending reached unprecedented levels, with $4.3 billion [[link removed]] expended by independent groups, more than half of which came from entities that do not fully disclose their funding sources.
We encourage you to explore OpenSecrets' comprehensive databases and tools to follow the money trail in politics. By staying informed, you empower yourself to advocate for a more transparent and accountable government.
Best regards,
OpenSecrets
