Texas Campaign Finance Database: 2000-2012
Using data provided by the Texas Ethics Commission, we have built a new interface for interacting with campaign finance data dating back to 2000 and continuing up to the last filing deadline of December 31, 2012. Use our news app to search the more than 6.5 million contributions to candidates and political action committees and to browse through more than 1.4 million expenditures.
Please note that this does not contain any federal data from the Federal Election Commission (yet). Have any questions, concerns or feedback? Contact us here.
