The 2022 midterms are already underway. As candidates and party committees have raised over $1.25 billion to prepare for challenging primaries and general elections across the country, you can be certain that special interest groups are working tirelessly to organize funding for these campaigns. 

You can also be certain that OpenSecrets will be there throughout the election cycle as we deliver the data and insights on mega and micro donors and election spending that voters will need to make informed decisions. 

Campaign funding smashed records in 2020. Will you help OpenSecrets track and report on candidates’ war chests in 2022?

We are also working on new tools to deliver deeper understanding of the campaign finance landscape. Here’s what we have in store:

• Following money-in-politics across jurisdictions and issue areas with new projects that promote transparency and accountability.
• Tracking online political ads and exposing dark money backers behind misleading messages and misinformation.
• Revealing conflicts of interest through real-time data on the financial holdings of candidates and officials.

If everyone reading this donated just $10, we could build these tools and make them accessible to anyone who cares about a transparent democracy in the 2022 elections.
