“Crowdpac’s mission is to give politics back to people – to make it easier for citizens to learn about politicians, run for office, and to find and support political candidates that match their priorities and beliefs. We want to help end the stranglehold of big money donors and special interests on the political system. Crowdpac is independent and non-partisan. We believe that with the right tools, individuals working together can recreate our American democracy to be more representative. The majority of campaign contributions should be small dollar donations and barriers of entry should be lowered for first time politicians. That means crowdfunding U.S. politics, in place of the corrupt funding we have today. We also provide objective data to help individuals find the best matches on their ballot, and the best candidates to support on the issues that matter most to them. Crowdpac’s unique data model maps candidates (federal, state, and local) objectively on an ideological spectrum based on campaign contributions, voting records, and what candidates say.”
