With competitive Congressional races across the country and state and local candidates fighting to keep or take elected office, there are endless stories that can be reported out to help the public make informed decisions when heading to the polls.

In December, MuckRock shared tips and tricks on how to investigate key races, including FOIA ideas and useful databases. We’ve embedded our training here. You can also view it directly on YouTube.

Over the coming months, we’re working to bring additional election-related resources, training and reporting to you — register here for updates or let us know if you’re interested in collaborating. Or if you want real-time help, drop into the MuckRock FOIA Slack channel.
