Receipts, not rhetoric.
CampaignReceipts is a political-media company that ties donor money to four things: congressional votes, sponsored bills, campaign promises kept or broken, and races won or lost. Free to browse, sourced from FEC.gov + Congress.gov, every verdict reviewed by three sequential reviewers — neutral, conservative, progressive — before publication.
Editorial leadership + the reviewer panel.
Every verdict that ships passes through three sequential reviewers in this order: neutral editorial pass → conservative reader pass → progressive reader pass. The panelists rotate; their notes are stored as a public audit trail. We name everyone we can, mark every seat we're still recruiting, and never publish a "review board" we can't point to by name.

Founded SEALED Press in 2025 to publish primary-source political audits. Author of SEALED — The 2016 Promises, a 145-promise fact-check of the Trump 2016 campaign with paper-trail receipts on every claim. No party affiliation. No prior campaign-staff history. Drafts the neutral pass on every verdict before it goes to the conservative and progressive readers.
Open seat
Seat open. Recruiting two readers with prior affiliation at a Republican-aligned policy shop, conservative magazine, or right-of-center think tank. Reviewer reads each verdict for partisan framing, missing context, and steel-mans the politician under review. Notes stored publicly. Compensated per-verdict reviewed.
Open seat
Second seat open — we run two conservative readers per verdict in rotation to keep no single reader's framing dominant. Same role + compensation as above.

Second seat open — same rotation discipline as the conservative side. Same role + compensation as above.
Why we name "Recruiting" instead of inventing reviewers: a "bipartisan review" claim that doesn't name people isn't a review claim — it's marketing. We'd rather show open seats than fake them. Apply for a reviewer seat →
What we don't do.
- Anonymous scoring. Every verdict has primary-source receipts. The receipts are on the verdict page, not buried in a PDF appendix.
- Partisan framing. Three reviewer passes per verdict. If conservative and progressive readers disagree on framing, the disagreement is logged publicly and the verdict re-drafted.
- Editorializing. The receipts do the work. Verdict reasoning explains how the instrument compared to the campaign pledge — not whether we approve of the politician.
- Free facts. The directory, the donor maps, the search, and all verdicts are free — no gate on the underlying data. The only paid product is the weekly newsletter ($9/mo), a convenience that summarizes the week’s money trails and links you into the free maps.
- Politician donations. No politician donations accepted. Revenue: the weekly newsletter + YouTube. That's it.
