How we source this
Where every number and every quote comes from, how it's checked, and when it updates. If something is wrong, DM @radicaljax on Instagram.
The money
Every dollar figure comes from the Federal Election Commission filings of two committees, read in full from the files they submitted:
- AIPAC PAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee (FEC ID C00797670), first filed in December 2021.
- United Democracy Project, AIPAC's super PAC (FEC ID C00799031), first filed in January 2022.
For each candidate and senator we show four figures, and a fifth where it applies:
- AIPAC PAC, given directly: contributions from AIPAC PAC to the person's campaign committees, minus any money those committees refunded to it.
- AIPAC PAC, earmarked by donors: contributions individuals made through AIPAC PAC for a specific candidate, which AIPAC PAC passed on. AIPAC PAC reports each one as "Earmark of" the donor.
- United Democracy Project, supporting and opposing: money the super PAC spent on its own, such as ads and mail, for or against the person. These include its 24-hour and 48-hour reports, which matter this close to an election.
- To a joint fundraising committee: money AIPAC PAC sent to a committee that raises for several campaigns at once and splits it among them. It isn't counted as money to the candidate; it's shown on its own line beside the candidate the committee raises for.
"This cycle" means January 1, 2025 to now. The longer figure runs from when AIPAC PAC began giving, so nothing suggests giving before it existed. Every figure links to a page listing each transaction, and each transaction links to the FEC filing it appears in.
This money is American by law: foreign nationals can't give or spend in U.S. elections. So we use the names in the filings and never call it "Israeli" money. We count these two committees only, not other pro-Israel PACs or donors who give on their own.
How the money is checked
A second program rebuilds every published figure from the raw filings with separate code, and the site isn't built unless every figure matches to the cent. We also compare United Democracy Project's totals with the FEC's own processed data. The full recipe, with every filter, is in the method page.
Current data: AIPAC PAC filings through August 31, 2026; United Democracy Project through October 16, 2026. Updated October 18, 2026, 8:24 p.m. ET. Each figure leads to every transaction behind it, and each transaction links to the FEC filing it appears in. We don't point to FEC.gov's own search pages for checking: the FEC's processed data often leaves out earmarks and some candidate IDs, so it can show far less than the filings do.
What candidates have said
Each 2026 candidate has five to ten points, always starting with Israel, ICE, the Trump administration, and where they want the country to go. Each point is something the candidate said or a vote they cast, marked Said or Voted, with the source and date.
- Only their own words or votes. Never their party's position, a reputation, or our reading of what they meant.
- Sources: the candidate's own website and press releases, debates and interviews, official Senate and House roll calls, and established news outlets. Not Wikipedia, partisan blogs or summaries.
- Every quote is checked by a program that opens the source page, saves a copy, and confirms the exact words are there. A point whose quote isn't found doesn't go on the site. Votes link to the official roll call.
- If we found nothing on one of the four main topics, the card says "No public statement found as of October 18, 2026." We don't fill gaps with guesses.
Statements were researched in October 2026 and are dated. They aren't updated daily.
Who's on the ballot
Each race lists the Democratic and Republican nominees and any independent or third-party candidate polling 5% or more in a public poll, or recognised as the main opposition. Nominees come from state election offices and the FEC, with news reports where an official list wasn't readable. Each race links its sources.
For the House, every candidate on each state's certified general-election ballot is listed, not only the two major parties, because there are no public polls for most House races. Each name was checked by a program against the state election office's list, or the House Clerk's official compilation of nominees, or a news report where neither could be read, and the whole list was compared district by district with the House Clerk's. Write-in candidates aren't listed.
Odds of winning
Next to each candidate is the price on Kalshi, a prediction market regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, for a contract that pays $1 if that candidate wins. A price of 68 cents reads as the market putting the chance at 68%. We show the midpoint between what buyers bid and sellers ask, fetched once a day from Kalshi's public data, and a program checks every figure against the saved copy. It's what traders are willing to bet, not a poll, a forecast or our opinion, and it can be wrong. Kalshi trades markets for most House districts and Senate races; where it doesn't, the page says "No market". Prices as of October 18, 2026, 8:12 p.m. ET.
Phone numbers
Senators' Washington numbers come from senate.gov's official contact list; state office numbers from the public congress-legislators dataset, which collects them from senators' own sites. Representatives' Washington and district office numbers come from the same dataset, which follows the House's official member list. Your ZIP picks your representative using the Census Bureau's file matching ZIP code areas to today's congressional districts. Challengers' numbers appear only when their campaign publishes one on its own site.
Protests
Upcoming in-person protests, rallies, marches and vigils come from public event listings on Mobilize, refreshed daily, plus events added by hand with a link to where they were announced. We leave out phone banks, canvasses, fundraisers and online events. Sign-ups happen on the organiser's page; this site collects nothing. Updated October 18, 2026, 5:09 p.m. ET.
Your privacy
No cookies, no trackers, no sign-ups. When you type a ZIP code, your browser looks it up in a file from this site; the ZIP is never sent anywhere. ZIP locations come from the U.S. Census Bureau's ZIP code tabulation areas, which closely match postal ZIP codes.
