See where local businesses send their political money.
Check the Receipts connects California business licenses to public campaign-finance filings. Look up a business and see the political giving behind it, by the company and by its owners, with links to the public filings.
Open by invitation to testers in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Testers sign in with a one-time code.
Every number has a receipt
Each amount links to the public federal, state or local filings behind it.
One rule for everyone
Every business is matched and summarized the same way, whichever party the money went to. Facts only: no endorsements, no boycotts.
Corrections built in
When a match is wrong, we fix it, and it stays fixed through every update.
Built only from public records: Federal Election Commission filings, California Secretary of State (Cal-Access) filings, county and city e-filings, and California business license records.
