How much does the United States Congress spend on technology and digital media? It's a hard question to answer right now, but a necessary one for those who want a 21st Century Congress that works as efficiently, effectively and accountably as possible. Here you will find spreadsheets containing our underlying data, work and analysis.
Read our initial analysis of 2014 U.S. Senate technology- and digital media-related spending. Please share your feedback, questions and improvements below or on Twitter to help us all get closer to the right numbers.
Due to the lack of complete, verifiable and open spending data, these results are only a start. But we've opened our work so that you can use, improve upon and - hopefully - help us get to the correct answers.
These spreadsheets are manual classifications from Congressional disbursement data converted and provided to the public by the Sunlight Foundation. Thank you, Sunlight!
