California Civic Data Coalition introduces a new bulk downloads site tracking money in state politics

Today we’re launching an expansion of this site, remaking it as the only destination offering hassle-free access to the bulk data tracking money in California politics.

Until now, analysts investigating the role of lobbyists and campaign donors at the Sacramento statehouse have been limited to an unwieldy dump from CAL-ACCESS, the jumbled, dirty and difficult database maintained by California’s Secretary of State.

We’ve built something better. And we’ve got even more in the works.
