Our methodology

We aggregate from official government sources — Legistar, Granicus, Cal-Access, FPPC, and county registrar portals — then translate everything into plain English. Every claim links to its original source so you can verify anything in one click.

Editorial standards

Nonpartisan by design. We don't endorse, advocate, or take sides. Our AI flags potential loopholes and conflicts of interest, but the data always speaks for itself — and you make the call.
