About the publication
A newsroom built around the public record
Our Elected News is an independent civic journalism publication in development by the team behind OurElected. This preview explains the reporting model before the full news edition launches.
What we cover
We focus on the decisions made by elected officials and public institutions: legislation, votes, executive action, public spending, campaign finance, lobbying, and the effects those decisions have on communities. Our aim is to connect reporting to the records a reader can inspect for themselves.
Who publishes this site
Our Elected News is a publication of OurElected, a civic information platform that makes government activity easier to follow. The publication and product share a commitment to primary sources, clear explanations, and corrections that remain visible.
How the work is funded
The publication may be supported by subscriptions and clearly identified advertising. Advertisers do not select stories, review coverage before publication, or influence headlines, conclusions, or rankings. Advertising is kept visually and editorially separate from newsroom work.
What readers can expect
Reported work will identify its author, publication date, material updates, and the primary sources that support its central claims. Analysis and opinion will be labeled. Our full commitments are in our editorial standards.
