The National Institute on Money in State Politics (FollowTheMoney.org) is the only nonpartisan, nonprofit organization revealing the influence of campaign money on state-level elections and public policy in all 50 states. We encourage transparency and promote independent investigation of state-level campaign contributions by journalists, academic researchers, public-interest groups, government agencies, policymakers, students and the public at large.

Prior to becoming Executive Director of the Institute, I worked for seven years as Research Director for the Money in Western Politics Project of the Western States Center. While there, I helped develop many techniques for researching state campaign-finance data.
