MapLight works to create a more accountable, transparent, and democratic society where lawmakers are responsive to citizen concerns, rather than the interests of large campaign donors. Toward these ends, our work aims to support the money and politics reform movement by educating citizens about who influences government and how revealing money’s role in politics so that citizens can better understand the influences on their government and intervene on behalf of a stronger democracy; and give more power to the groups that hold government accountable and work for societal change, including journalists, issue-oriented groups (such as environmental groups), activist groups, and other citizen leaders.
About Us
MapLight, a nonprofit, nonpartisan, research organization, reveals money's influence on politics. We combine timely, in-depth information about lawmakers, votes, and campaign contributions to reveal money's influence on politics. Our groundbreaking transparency website combines campaign contribution data with how every legislator votes on every bill, providing citizens and journalists with the tools to hold government accountable
