Dear Supporter,

As a new subscriber, we wanted to show you the various ways that you can get the facts on your candidates and public officials!

 

Current Services:

I Spy

Visit votesmart.org, and at the top of the page, type in the name of a politician or your zip code, then use the magnifying glass to click on any of the six fact files: Biographies, Key Votes, Issue Positions, Ratings, Speeches, and Funding.

Choose the politician you are interested in learning more about and then click on the file of your choosing. You will see every known fact in that category about the politician you selected, searchable by date, issue, or keyword.

P.S. While our team strongly believes that all Americans should have access to our data and services, we face a very real obstacle: funding. Since Vote Smart only accepts money from the general public, foundations, and API subscribers - as opposed to special interest groups or organizations that lobby for specific candidates or issues - we need your help!

If you, too, believe that all Americans should have access to free, factual, unbiased facts, join us today.​
