Claim your profile
What claiming is
Your public profile is built from official records. Claiming lets you confirm and keep your own information accurate and reach the people in your area. Claiming doesn’t change how we order anyone — there is no ranking.
Who can claim
Registered candidates and current elected officials. We verify you against official records before a claim is approved. “Verified” means sourced from an official record — nothing more.
How it works
- Find your profile.
- Start the claim.
- Verify your identity against the official record.
- Once confirmed, keep your information current and share where you stand.
What you can do once claimed
Confirm your details, post your stated positions, and respond when people ask where you stand. We never invent or score positions you haven’t shared.
What claiming does not do
- It doesn’t move you up a list — we don’t rank.
- It doesn’t change your sentiment number.
- It doesn’t require buying anything. Neutrality is not for sale.
Your data
We collect only what we need to verify you against an official record, and we handle it plainly and honestly.
Questions people ask
Does claiming my profile cost anything?
No. Claiming your public profile is free, and it has nothing to do with buying campaign software.
Will claiming move me higher in any list?
No. We don’t rank candidates, and being claimed (or a paying software customer) gives no advantage in inclusion, order, or sentiment.
How do you verify it’s really me?
We confirm your claim against official public records before approving it. “Verified” means the record is real — it isn’t an endorsement of you.
I haven’t shared my positions — what shows?
We show that you haven’t shared positions yet. We never guess or invent them.
