Data Sources

All GRIFTR data is derived from official U.S. government filings: FEC (campaign finance), Congress.gov (voting records, bill sponsorship), Senate LDA (lobbying disclosures), House Clerk and Senate EFTS (stock trade filings), and the U.S. Census Bureau (district demographics). GRIFTR adds cross-referencing, the FEI composite score, and revolving door analysis. Full methodology at griftr.us/about.

Questions

Why charge for exports if the underlying data is public?

The raw government filings are free and always will be. What you get from GRIFTR is the cleaned, cross-referenced, and scored dataset — FEI calculations, lobbying-to-committee attribution, revolving door mapping — which takes significant compute and maintenance. Subscriptions keep the site running independently without ads or grants.

Can I use the data in my own project?

Yes. Exported data can be used in journalism, academic research, civic tools, and commercial products. We ask for attribution ("Data from GRIFTR, griftr.us") but it is not legally required. Government source data is public domain.

Will the free tier always exist?

Yes. GRIFTR exists to make congressional financial data accessible. The full site — every profile, every score, every visualization — will always be free to browse.
