About
About America First Tracker
A source-backed, party-blind map of Congress, money, votes, and influence. Every figure resolves to a primary public-record document.
What we do
We ingest, reconcile, and link primary public records — FEC filings, Congress.gov bills and votes, Senate LDA disclosures, USAspending awards, FARA registrations, and BLS / Treasury indicators — so citizens can read the same evidence officials write.
We don’t opine. We don’t guess. If we can’t link a number to a public record, we don’t publish it.
What we don’t claim
- · We are not a rating agency. Scores are illustrative until methodology validation completes.
- · Correlation between donors, votes, and bills is descriptive — it does not prove causation.
- · We do not endorse candidates, parties, or campaigns.
- · We publish corrections in a public ledger when the underlying record disagrees with us.
See methodology for the full standard and corrections for how to flag a discrepancy.
