Consilium / Data
A clearer picture.
Of the entire country.
We’re building a connected record of American public life. People, elections, money, and the places they shape—all grounded in original sources.
Nationwide coverage is our collection roadmap, not a claim of complete availability today.
The nationwide plan
Every state.
Every level of government.
Our planned scope spans all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the five inhabited U.S. territories. Federal, state, county, municipal, school, and special-district records—with a distinct inventory for public tribal-government sources.
Political records come first. We’re building state by state, connecting recent records and expanding historical coverage as sources allow.
Elections & results
Candidates, contests, ballot measures, turnout, and results—from federal races to school boards. Primaries, general, special, and local elections, with county and precinct detail where published.
People & public office
Officials, candidates, institutions, and seats. Connected histories of elections, appointments, service, vacancies, and the rules that define each office.
Campaign finance & influence
Committees, contributions, spending, loans, and independent expenditures. Lobbying registrations, clients, disclosures, and ethics records, with amendments kept in context.
Legislation & decisions
Bills, text versions, sponsors, committees, hearings, and roll-call votes. Follow a proposal through its actions, revisions, and passage into law.
Geography & communities
States, counties, cities, districts, wards, and precincts. Historical boundaries connected to Census demographics, population, and the places each record represents.
Election administration
Election calendars, filing periods, candidate filings, polling information, aggregate registration, audits, and recounts—with dates and source context attached.
The longer view
Beyond the ballot.
The broader collection plan extends into the public records that explain how government works and communities change. These domains follow the political core.
Government in action
Executive orders, agency rules, council agendas, minutes, and ordinances. Courts, judges, published opinions, and aggregate judicial activity.
Public money & the economy
Budgets, revenue, spending, debt, audits, contracts, grants, procurement, and public workforce compensation. Business registrations and professional licenses.
The places we live
Parcels, assessments, zoning, permits, transportation, and utilities. Water, environment, agriculture, public lands, education, and public-health and safety aggregates.
Evidence, not just entries
The source stays
with the story.
- Traceable to the original
- Our collection standard preserves official sources, original documents, and references back to the evidence.
- History stays intact
- Dates, revisions, amendments, and boundary changes remain distinct. A correction should not erase the record that came before it.
- Clear about what’s covered
- Availability varies by place, period, and record type. Missing information stays unknown; access and reuse depend on verification and source rights. Private campaign records are not part of this public-data offering.
