How We Research Every Candidate
This is not a single Google search and a campaign-bio rewrite. It is a layered research workflow built to gather, compare, verify, and preserve large volumes of public-record material before anything gets turned into a published candidate page.
Multi-Layer Source Collection
The working archive already spans 70 candidate research folders, 31 long-form reports, more than 240,000 lines of consolidated candidate research, and 34,000+ captured source URLs. We pull from campaign sites, government filings, court records, local reporting, social media, meeting records, archived web pages, and finance databases.
Primary-Source Verification
Whenever possible, claims are checked against the underlying document, not just a campaign summary or a quoted article. That means cross-checking legislative records, FEC and Kansas ethics filings, city and county minutes, church websites, court dockets, licensing records, archived snapshots, and direct quotes in context.
Research Pipeline, Not Spin
Each candidate page is built from multiple research layers: biography, public record, campaign finance, faith/church documentation, verbatim quotes, and verified adverse-public-record findings. We write in plain English, surface uncertainty when the record is thin, and keep the source trail visible so readers can inspect the evidence for themselves.
Our Approach
We search everywhere.
We verify everything.
We present the facts.
You decide.
Every report we publish is sourced, dated, and traceable. We don’t grade candidates or tell you who to vote for. We give you the complete, verified record — and trust you to make your own judgment before God.
