Free · Independent · Ad-Free
We watch promises on the stump.
You can check every call yourself.
StumpWatch is a free, open-source public service that holds politicians to the promises they made. If it’s valuable to you, a donation is the only way we keep it free, ad-free, and beholden to no party.
Every promise tracked
We document what candidates promise on the stump — and follow up once they take office.
Source-first, always
Every record links to a primary source. No unsourced claims, no spin — just verifiable facts.
Nonpartisan by design
Every party, the same evidence standard — we judge whether officials kept their word, never their positions.
No products. No ads. Just accountability.
Most political-information sites earn money through advertising, sponsored content, or data sales. StumpWatch does none of those. We don't sell your information, run targeted ads, or take money from campaigns or PACs. The only way this site sustains itself is people who find it valuable enough to support directly.
Donations are not tax-deductible
StumpWatch is not a nonprofit, so donations are not tax-deductible. We intend to establish a nonprofit organization; until then we still gratefully accept donations to fund this work — just not as a tax-exempt charity, and we'll be transparent about it every step of the way.
