If you ever feel inspired to do some research, you can find out what legislation people have sponsored, co-sponsored and so on at

congress.gov//

If you want to know about FEDERAL campaign finance

fec.gov

But frankly, Open Secrets is more user friendly and draws from the FEC data
opensecrets.org

But what about people contributing to state races and ballot measures?

followthemoney.org

Ballot Initiative Strategy Center has just about everything on ballot measures

ballot.org

You want to look up a nonprofit? How do they spend their money? Want to check out Our Revolution?

guidestar.org

Then for budget, costs, taxes, there's the Congressional Budget Office

cbo.gov

If you want to research how our money is spent & what might be more efficient

gao.gov

For the SC, there is SupremeCourt dot gov, but most people prefer SCOTUSblog because it's friendlier for laypeople

scotusblog.com

For analysis of budget and policy proposals that is human-centered rather than finance-centered there is the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

cbpp.org

For analysis of Tax policy at the state and federal level

itep.org

for just about every damn thing, there is the Federal Register. Notices of rule changes, meeting notices, all the stuff the agencies don't really want you to know. So much it's kind of a sinkhole

federalregister.gov

For every word spoken in Congress for the record, and for all those documents Reps and Sen submit for the record

congress.gov/congressional-…

For federal regulations and proposed changes to federal regulations

regulations.gov

That's where you can post comments and tell them you don't want their fascist rule changes.

To find the positions on the issues of just about every candidate. nonpartisan

ontheissues.org/default.htm

and of course, there is always your local library online research tools
