A Midterm Tracker Built for Action

Stop watching
power.
Start influencing it.

The Issues Party helps you find the races that matter, follow candidate hubs, and push candidates to answer clear public-interest questions before they ask for power.

Candidate records. Public sources. Structured action. No endless comment threads.

Issues LedgerNow is the time to zero in on the record. Before we vote.

The Diagnosis

The machinery is working. Just not for the people paying for it.

More and more Americans are waking up to the truth that our two parties are currently operating as two wings of the same bird — flying toward the interests of the highest bidder.

The distractions are constant. The pattern is not.

As the United States buckles under the weight of its national debt, we have seen how little interest the political class has in holding bad actors accountable — at home or abroad.

Exhibit AThe system functions. The burden lands elsewhere.
Two wings of the same bird, flying toward the interests of the highest bidder.

The debt weighing down on us sits eerily close to the amount paid and accumulated in finance costs for two decades of war in the Middle East. At the same time, public financial resources, public energy, and public environmental capacity are being pushed toward massive data centers and surveillance infrastructure — while privacy laws and ethics are treated as barriers to route around.

Americans are drained of their financial resources, trapped in the only first-world nation where universal healthcare is still not treated as a right, and told to keep waiting while politicians funded by PACs, foreign lobbies, and wealthy donor networks ask for more time, more trust, and more votes.

The Issues Party is the response to a narrative we have heard for too long: “We want to, but it's complicated.”

That line is no longer working.

Congressionally mandated files remain unreleased. Documented wrongdoing goes uninvestigated. War crimes are met with silence. A population is starved into oblivion while leaders calculate the politics of saying so.

This isn't hand-wringing.
This is hand washing.

The Issues Party is scrubbing in for surgery on the American political system before it is too late to vote our way out of it. Now is the time to zero in on the record.

Five-Issue Spotlight

Five issues. No more hiding behind “complicated.”

01

Data Bill of Rights

Americans should have enforceable rights to know, access, move, delete and audit the personal data companies collect, sell and turn into power.

02

Congressional Stock Trading Ban

Members of Congress should not trade individual stocks while writing the laws and moving the markets those trades depend on.

See where candidates stand →
03

Universal Healthcare

The only first-world nation still treating medical care as a market instead of a right should be forced to answer why.

See where candidates stand →
04

War-Crime Accountability

War crimes have consequences. The United States should not continue supporting foreign powers that show no respect for basic human rights while hiding accountability behind procedure.

See where candidates stand →
05

Citizens United Reform

A legal fiction enshrined by the courts has elevated corporate will over the good of the people for too long. Congress needs to reset the table.

First Action Party

Section 224: The vote they didn't want you to see.

Some votes tell you what politicians believe. Others are handled in a way that makes sure you never find out.

When Congressman Ro Khanna offered an amendment to strike Section 224 from the FY27 NDAA, the amendment failed by voice vote — a curious request for someone supposedly pushing for transparency. No clean roll call. No easy public record. No simple way for voters to know where most members stood.

Every House Armed Services Committee member is up for reelection this November. This Action Party gives voters a direct way to ask them one simple question: why should merging our military with a foreign nation — one that has already cost us trillions — be in the American interest?

Active accountability action

The vote they didn't want you to see

A voice vote left voters without a clean record. This action asks every relevant member the same questions.

The Organized Response

The Issues Party turns missing records into public action.

A consequential vote gets buried in procedure. The record is incomplete. The public deserves answers. The Issues Party turns that gap into an action.

The InterventionThe record is where accountability begins.

How It Works

Three moves. No civics lecture.

01 / FIND THE ACTION

Start where pressure can matter.

Start with a race, a candidate, or an active Action Party tied to a public record.

02 / OPEN THE RECORD

See what is known.

Review what is sourced, what is unresolved, and which candidates or officials need to answer.

03 / PING FOR ANSWERS

Make silence visible.

Use structured messages to ask candidates where they stood — and track what remains unanswered.

Race Tracker

Find the races behind the record.

The Section 224 Action Party is the first example. The tracker is how this scales. Search upcoming primaries, pending results, and candidate hubs to see where public pressure can still matter before voters decide.

Candidate Hubs

Candidate pages should do more than introduce candidates.

A Candidate Hub is where the race becomes actionable. It brings together candidate information, source links, contact paths, key issue records, and the questions voters should be able to ask before any candidate asks for power.

Issues Ledger

Ask the questions candidates should answer before asking for power.
