FEC Committee Monitor
Track newly registered US federal campaign committees — House and Senate campaigns, PACs, Super PACs, and party committees — straight from the official Federal Election Commission API.
Every 2026 midterm campaign starts the same way: a Statement of Organization (Form 1) filed with the FEC. This actor surfaces those registrations within days of filing, before they show up anywhere else.
Who uses this
- Journalists — spot new candidates and Super PACs the moment they organize
- Political consultants & vendors — new committees are new prospects with fresh budgets
- Researchers & watchdogs — track committee formation trends by state, party, and type

Data source & legality
Data comes from the FEC's official public API (api.open.fec.gov). This is public-record data published by the US government; no scraping, no ToS issues, no PII beyond what federal law requires committees to disclose.
