Political information is designed to capture your attention. We're building it to be useful.
Only 17% of Americans say they trust the government — but it's hard to hold representatives accountable when you can't easily find out who they are, what they've done, or who's running against them. The information is public. It's just scattered, buried, and competing with everything else for your attention. We organize elections, candidates, and representatives so you can focus on what matters to you.

We organize information that already exists.
Who's running, who represents you, what district you're in, what's on your ballot. Public information that should be easy to find but isn't.
We present facts, not opinions.
We don't endorse candidates. We don't rate them. We don't tell you who to vote for. We show you what candidates say and what representatives do, and you decide what matters.
We cut through the noise.
Civic information competes with everything else for your attention. We organize it around you — your districts, your representatives, your ballot — so you spend less time searching and more time understanding.
Independent by design
Local Candidates is an independent project — not backed by a political party, a media company, or a PAC. It's built on the belief that when civic information is easy to access, democracy works better.
We're starting in Virginia and growing from there.
