Mission to Increase Transparency

The Transparency Portal is comprised of five separate tools that can help voters make informed choices at the ballot box.

Behested Payments Search: This user-friendly chart highlights which public officials solicited or "behested" payments to be given to their favorite charities or causes.

Top Contributor Lists: These lists detail the top 10 contributors to ballot measures and independent expenditure committees that have spent $1,000,000 or more to support or oppose a measure or candidate.
