Opensecrets.org, a pioneer in bringing transparency to money in politics, has unveiled a new database that tracks campaign ads placed on Facebook and Google by more than 80,000 candidates and groups supporting them.
“Earlier this year, we made a promise that with your support we would expand our capacity to track online ads and deliver to you a searchable, sortable online ads database that includes all the nitty-gritty details about political ad spending on Google and Facebook,” Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) Executive Director Sheila Krumholz said in a statement on Sept. 9 announcing the database.
