About

Better information makes better officials.

I'm Kory Haywood, a lover of civics. I believe the only way to get better elected officials is to arm the public with better information — so I built the toolbox I wished existed for Harris County.

What this is

Free tools for Harris County residents: who represents you, how every precinct voted, where campaign money comes from, what your officials pass into law, and where public budgets go. No paywall, no party registration, no email required to look anything up.

Where the numbers come from

Official canvasses from Harris County Elections, campaign-finance filings from the Texas Ethics Commission, the FEC, and county and city portals, Census demographics, and the Texas Legislature's own records. Every tool cites its sources, and the methodology page shows the formulas. Spot a number that looks wrong? Tell me — corrections beat corrections-avoidance.
