#Ballotpedia is a website that provides information on #US#elections and candidates for voters. It started out as a community-contributed site, but is now only edited by paid staff. It has information related to both US Federal government and US state governments, with a database of information on US state executives, legislators, districts, candidates for such positions & ballot measures.
The website claims to be #neutral & accurate. Due to the nature of the site, it does sometimes show decidedly non-factual quotes from other sources (such as public figures). Despite this, the site was founded by the Citizens In Charge Foundation, a #libertarian activist organisation. The site is currently run by a remarkably well-fed nonprofit called the Lucy Burns Institute, which is substantially funded by #Koch Industries money, funnelled in via various corporate shells.
Unreal. For those of you who insist there are “moderates” in the Republican Fascist Party, and I’ve never agreed with that, looks like more and more are now supporting #GymJordan for #Speaker. Via Angry Staffer:

The Koch-funded American Legislative Exchange Council is behind campaigns at the state and federal level to defund and privatize K-12 education. The Koch network views K-12 education as the ideal arena for promoting ideas that question climate change, attack workers' rights, and defend slavery in order to build long-term support for corporate-favoring policies. http://www.unkochmycampus.org/ #CharlieKoch#KochIsEvil#KochIndustries#CKinstitute#AFPAction#GOPTraitors#GOP
Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a political nonprofit with affiliates in 38 states, is Koch’s premier "astroturfing" organization, activating people to oppose public sector unions, expanded health care, and environmental standards. Its budget, which is supported mostly by the Koch-funded Stand Together Chamber of Commerce, was $57 million in 2019.
Super secretive, ultra wealthy/conservative, anti-union, climate change denial, subversive funder of neoliberal think tanks, agendae. As dangerous as Leonard Leo; good to see more coverage, unveiling of Koch's influence.
A man is judged by his deeds, not by his words.
This is also true for institutions.
