TRACT methodology: Promise tracking uses documented campaign statements, debate transcripts, and official press releases. Vote records sourced from GovTrack and Congress.gov. Donor data from OpenSecrets and FEC filings. Conflict flags applied when donor industry and committee seat overlap AND a vote on related legislation occurred. No editorial scoring — raw data only. Same methodology applied to every politician regardless of party.
