Top Takers

The Top Takers app helps you to push back against the influence of money in US Federal politics, specifically donations to election candidates by special interests like corporations and pressure groups. Sadly, most candidates accept this money, some more than others. Those are the Top Takers. The app makes it easy to choose a member of Congress for the House or Senate, and to discover how much they have taken from special interests. If you don't like what you see, you can use your phone to record a video of the app's animation and post it to your social media account. Sharing your video can raise awareness of how much money candidates take from special interests, and help to clean up politics! The data we use comes from trustworthy sources using public databases. We're non-partisan and want to call out Top Takers, irrespective of their party.
