Why this exists

Receipts, not vibes.

CampaignReceipts is a free, bipartisan database that tracks every U.S. federal politician's campaign promises against the public record.

We are published by SEALED Press, a documentary publisher whose first book — SEALED — The 2016 Promises — fact-checks all 145 of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign promises. CampaignReceipts is the SEALED Press methodology applied at scale to every politician.

Every verdict is stress-tested from both political perspectives before publication. The full audit trail is stored. The methodology is public. The receipts are public. You decide.

The site is free. We make money from book sales and from PromiseTracker Pro — a coming paid tier with alerts, API access, and journalist tools. The free directory will always remain free.

What we don't do

  • — Anonymous scoring. Every verdict has receipts.
  • — Partisan framing. Every verdict is reviewed from both sides.
  • — Editorializing. The receipts do the work.
  • — Paywalled facts. The site is free for everyone, always.
