Friends,
As we wrap up our celebration of Sunshine Week 2025, we recognize the vital role investigative journalism plays in promoting government transparency and holding elected officials accountable.
At OpenSecrets, we are proud to partner with thousands of journalists by providing data, analysis and training to help uncover the influence of money in politics.
In 2024, we provided 42 live journalism trainings, equipping reporters across the country with the tools and knowledge needed to track political spending at both the state and federal levels.
These trainings empowered journalists to better analyze campaign finance, lobbying and dark money data, leading to more in-depth investigations and impactful reporting.
By providing access to our comprehensive databases and expert insights, we help journalists expose how undisclosed money shapes elections and policymaking.
Investigative journalism thrives when reporters have access to reliable data and strong transparency laws.
As we mark Sunshine Week, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting journalists in their pursuit of the truth to ensure the public has access to critical information.
Thank you for standing with us in the fight for transparency.
Best,
OpenSecrets
