About Utah Campaign Finance

Making Utah campaign finance data accessible and transparent

Our Mission

This site aims to provide better data analytics about campaign finance in Utah. The current site at disclosures.utah.gov is a bit dated. And it just shows PDF report pages and doesn't really provide anything else than raw data. To help show better insights on money, hopefully we can show some of the motiviations in Utah politics. There are api endpoints for some of this data, but all API access is rate limited and may be refused at any time for any reason. If you do choose to use the API, please have some method of contact in the User-Agent header so that we can reach out if there are any issues.
