Capitol Trace is built and maintained by JSW Legacy Ventures LLC, based in Saint Clair, Michigan.
We believe that an informed citizenry is not a threat to democracy. It is the point of democracy. Capitol Trace exists to make government data accessible to every citizen — free, nonpartisan, and without ads.
Short version: we don't tell you who to vote for, rate politicians, hide inconvenient data, sell user data, or run ads. The full statement lives in What is Capitol Trace? — we show you the record; you decide what it means.
The core platform is free for all citizens. Always. Revenue comes from API subscriptions (researchers, newsrooms, institutions) and foundation grants for civic technology.
