National political spending index
Compare the records we can actually support.
This index shows the depth and date of published campaign finance coverage in each state. It does not add incompatible reporting periods or unlike state fields into a false national dollar total.

This map measures W4POLITICS publication depth, not political spending. Select a state with published records to open its spending charts. Nevada opens its original guide. States without a financial explorer open their featured-race guide. Report summaries and financial record rows use different colors. The complete 50-state table below provides the same status in text.

Comparison method
Comparable does not mean identical
State portals use different field names, filing calendars, coverage dates, and reporting rules. A contribution total, receipt total, cash balance, and itemized-row sum are different observations. W4POLITICS preserves the source field and time window instead of forcing them into one invented number.
Unknown, paper-only, not yet due, and not yet collected are not zero. A contribution documents a reported payment. It does not prove control, an agreement, or an official act.
Read the spending data method, read the editorial standards, or open any state's coverage page to see exactly what is included.
