Campaign finance
Federal campaign finance filings
The FEC (Federal Election Commission) is the sole federal authority for campaign-finance disclosure. TruthMark does not aggregate, score, or comment on the data — we direct you to fec.gov, the authoritative source. Enter a name below to pre-fill FEC search links, or open any resource directly.

FEC Candidate Search
Federal Election Commission
All federal candidates who have filed a Statement of Candidacy (FEC Form 2).

FEC Committee Search
Federal Election Commission
All registered federal political committees — principal campaign committees, leadership PACs, super PACs, hybrid PACs (Carey committees), party committees, and joint fundraising committees. Each committee record shows its type, treasurer, total receipts and disbursements, cash on hand, and every filing it has submitted.
- Contributions by donorOpen ↗
FEC Individual Contributions
Federal Election Commission
Itemized individual contributions reported to the FEC. Federal law (52 U.S.C. § 30104) requires disclosure of each contributor's name, employer, occupation, city, state, ZIP, date, and amount for contributions aggregating over $200 per election cycle to a single committee. Search by contributor name, employer, or occupation.
- Independent expendituresOpen ↗
FEC Independent Expenditures
Federal Election Commission
Spending by super PACs, 501(c)(4) social-welfare organizations, trade associations, and other entities on communications that expressly advocate for or against a federal candidate without coordinating with that candidate's campaign. Required to be reported within 24 hours (within 20 days of an election) or 48 hours (at other times). Includes the spender, amount, target candidate, and communication description.

FEC Full-Text Filing Search
Federal Election Commission
Full-text search across the content of electronic FEC filings, powered by the FEC's own Elasticsearch service (efts.fec.gov). Useful for locating a specific employer name, LLC, DBA, or entity that appears as a contributor or payee inside a filing document when the structured-data search returns no results.
State-level campaign finance
Looking for a state legislative or local race?
The FEC does not have jurisdiction over state or local races. Each state has its own campaign-finance regulator — the Secretary of State, Board of Elections, or an independent ethics commission, depending on the state. The Institute on Money in State Politics (FollowTheMoney.org) aggregates all 50 states' filings in a single search interface, but the state regulator's own portal is the authoritative source for each state.

Data via the Federal Election Commission (fec.gov) and the FEC's full-text search service (efts.fec.gov). No third-party intermediary. FEC disclosure is required by federal law (52 U.S.C. § 30104); records are public.
