Taxpayer & spending transparency

Public money.In plainsight.

People deserve a clearer picture of where public money goes. Help us turn hard-to-navigate records into tools and stories that make spending easier to follow—and better questions easier to ask.

01 / THE IDEA

Make the public record public in practice.

Imagine being able to follow a public dollar without losing the thread. Clearer records are a practical place to start.

THE CONNECTION WE’RE BUILDING

01Public spending
02Source & context
03Better questions

Those are different questions. A payment record shows a payment. A contract shows an award. Neither proves that a program worked, failed or involved fraud. Useful transparency connects the record, the context and the limits of what is known.

02 / ALREADY IN THE WORLD

Not just a vision.
A place to start.

These public tools and resources are available to explore now. Open them. Check the sources. See what’s useful.

What this work can—and can’t—promise

We are not a government auditor. Spending is not evidence of waste; suspected fraud is not recovered cash. This appeal does not promise tax savings, recovered money or a right to public funds.

03 / WHAT YOU’RE HELPING BUILD

Give the next
chapter a start.

Support the work that connects possibility to something people can use.

01

Make records easier to navigate

Maintain useful routes into federal spending sources and build interfaces people can actually read.

02

Connect numbers to context

Explain which period, jurisdiction and spending measure a number describes—and what it does not include.

03

Turn complexity into clarity

Publish practical walkthroughs that help a reader reproduce a search rather than take a screenshot on faith.

These are planned priorities, not completed results or a restricted allocation. For a larger grant or sponsorship, let’s discuss a written scope.

04 / PEOPLE BEHIND THE POSSIBILITY

Big ideas.
Real people.
Work to do.

Jack Jay and Sydney Thackray are founding members of US House. They’re bringing creators, builders and civic projects together around a shared ambition: make useful work impossible to ignore.

The invitation is bigger than a building. It’s a network of people creating, explaining and connecting the pieces of a better future.

GOOD QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME

Ambition, with
the details clear.

Are you promising to recover tax money?

No. We are describing public-information work. A budget number is not proof of fraud, and any recovery or reallocation would require the responsible authorities and legal process.

What exactly would support help pay for?

The planned priorities are research and source checks, product maintenance, accessible design, hosting and clear public explanations. This is not a published restricted-fund budget or a promise of a particular result. Ask for a written scope before considering a larger grant or sponsorship.

Who receives the payment?

The payment recipient is Election Powerhouse, Inc., using a dedicated US House support checkout. The verified hosted link accepts one-time support. This is not the separate Election.org support program.

Is support tax-deductible?

No charitable deduction is promised. This is not presented as a tax-exempt charity appeal. US House has committed to a public benefit corporation structure; filing is pending, not complete.

How can I follow or question the work?

Explore the tools and their source notes, send a correction, or ask the team about the next stage. Questions about support, planned work or a larger sponsorship can go directly to jackson@america.co.
