About/contact

The power of the fully sourced and operational wiki project comes from the citizens across the country researching, writing and fact-checking the information here. It is free, open-source, transparent in its editing standards and sourcing, and non-partisan. All information on RaceTracker is required to be referenced to an outside news source, and no partisan information is included. RaceTracker serves the common interest of knowing everyone running to represent us in our government.

The RaceTracker wiki is coordinated primarily by the team at Elections.DailyKos.com, with assistance from the OpenCongress team. We encourage you to make any additions or corrections via the "Edit with form" tab at the top of every race page (you'll need to log-in to edit; see the "Join OpenCongress" link in the top right to register for free). You can also leave a question or message for JamesL, a RaceTracker project coordinator, on his "talk" page.

For questions more generally about the RaceTracker wiki or about starting your own project on OpenCongress, please contact the OpenCongress team at writeus@OpenCongress.org.

Discover other community projects (or how to start your own!) at the main OpenCongress wiki community portal.

More background and individual contact information can be found on the RaceTracker community portal.
