Transparency Matters: The integrity of our elections depends on public access to accurate information.
Dear Friend of OpenSecrets,
Imagine what our democracy would look like without public access to information on money in politics.
We wouldn’t know how campaign contributions were raised and spent. We’d miss the billions of dollars that fund political ads, lobbying and foreign influence in Washington.
And, most importantly, we’d be missing critical information for ensuring that politicians are working in the interest of the voters that elected them.
Transparency is the frontline defense against corruption —
When megadonors and lobbyists must disclose who they support and possibly seek to influence;
When politicians are held accountable for whose money they take to fuel their campaigns;
And when citizens are empowered with accessible and unbiased facts about the flow of money in American politics.
OpenSecrets is your trusted, nonprofit and nonpartisan source to hold the line on government transparency.
You can always rely on us to provide the data, facts and independent analysis needed to strengthen democracy.
