The National Institute on Money in Politics’ highly credentialed empirical evidence about political candidates, donors, and lobbyists is essential to the healthy evolution of our democracy. Developed over two decades, the unique data provides the capacity for scholars, attorneys, journalists, and advocates across wide-ranging policy arenas to ground their work in facts. These facts serve as a prophylactic to the corrosive effects of fast-changing, highly partisan narratives around our state and federal elections and the foundational principles of our representative form of governing. Metrics from the data ensure that policy initiatives achieve their desired outcomes or point to areas for further debate and analysis
