Texas politicians aren’t always who they say they are (shocker, right?). Citizens
can often be misled about the candidates they think they should support, leading
to voting decisions and donations to candidates who were never actually on their
side.
Lay the groundwork for informed voter and donor decisions by getting a handle on
the basics of Texas politics. We cover the terms and topics you need to know to
select and support your candidates with confidence.
The money in Texas politics is supposed to be public information that is
accessible to anyone. In reality, it’s rarely easy to find — much less
understand — unless you’re a political insider who knows how to work the
system.
Our goal at Transparency Texas is to make all the data available to you
through an easy-to-use search feature. Simply enter the name of any Texas
candidate/politician, donor, or PAC to see where
the money is coming from and how it’s being spent. We’ve stripped the political
jargon and left you with clear data.
