The receipt · Brown’s tenureWho funds them · what they voted · broken promises

Derek Brown (R–UT) has kept 8 of 14 tracked promises, but broke a core fiscal pledge: to hold the line on federal spending. He also has 5 partial commitments still in progress. We don't yet have detailed donor data or specific votes tied to his funding sources—a gap we're working to fill. His record shows mixed follow-through on the commitments he made to voters.

Narrated from FEC + Congress.gov receipts. Every figure traces to our data.
