HOW THE MATCH WORKS · It starts with where you land, then the money you flagged separates candidates who lean the same way. It is one honest signal, not a verdict. You decide.
WHERE THIS COMES FROM · Money from the FEC, the public record (as of June 7, 2026). Election results from civicapi.org. Federal races only.
