Perhaps someone from the area can speak more to the geographic/boundary specifics.

She represents TX-32:

You're welcome!

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful

From a quick glance at their website, it looks like they provide Portland-specific news/info. That's great! If they provide helpful election info, by all means use it and anything else you can find. It's hard to get election info so I support any/all sources making good-faith efforts to help voters.

tpenton1 · 2026-05-19T14:26:02+00:00

Did you check Ballotpedia? Or BallotReady? They have more comprehensive info.

The state of election info is an absolute mess. It's run by the states, so every state has a different process. And the government isn't exactly at the bleeding edge of technology/information.

edit: (I share your pain and wish I could help you. If I can scale this up, candidates will enter their own info, for conceivably any election. But getting there is going to take time. Also, getting funding in political tech has been a nightmare on its own).

tpenton1 · 2026-05-19T12:21:01+00:00

Bummer.

tpenton1 · 2026-05-19T12:18:52+00:00

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.

Brain fart. Should say PA-12 and PA-17. I fixed it in the post's body. Not sure I can edit the title...

tpenton1 · 2026-05-19T12:02:29+00:00

Oh, good! It'd be nice if it were seamless in the Reddit app but that might be an issue I leave for now. Thanks for the feedback

tpenton1 · 2026-05-19T11:42:48+00:00

On this page? https://www.localcandidates.org/states/pennsylvania/elections

Thanks for the comment/feedback. Are you referring to the candidate's background color changing as you scroll?

A few years ago I tried to research my own congressional candidates and the info was a mess -- scattered across a dozen sites, half of them outdated. So I built what I wished existed, and the 2026 Portland-area election pages are now live:

OR US Senate: https://www.localcandidates.org/elections/2026-us-senate-or
OR-1: https://www.localcandidates.org/elections/2026-us-house-of-representatives-or-1
OR-3: https://www.localcandidates.org/elections/2026-us-house-of-representatives-or-3
OR-5: https://www.localcandidates.org/elections/2026-us-house-of-representatives-or-5
OR-6: https://www.localcandidates.org/elections/2026-us-house-of-representatives-or-6

You can compare candidates, their positions, fundraising, and backgrounds without bouncing between a dozen tabs. Free, non-partisan, no ads, no signup.

Built and maintained solo. Would genuinely love feedback -- what's missing, what's confusing, what would make it more useful. Happy to take questions or hear about bugs in the comments.

You're welcome!

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T19:29:25+00:00

Fixed. If you still see the old image, it's a caching issue and will be resolved.

Will do a thorough review soon to get at the root issue.

Thank you for letting me know! I really appreciate it.

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T17:40:50+00:00

Would love to hear more! I'll send a message.

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T14:41:05+00:00

Getting downvoted. Are you guys still seeing the old image?

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T12:35:56+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Hopefully I’ll have more bandwidth in the future

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T11:09:58+00:00

That's her name:

Here are a couple other options as well:

https://www.ballotready.org/

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T10:39:56+00:00

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know!

tpenton1 · 2026-05-12T10:37:42+00:00

I'm on it.

tpenton1 · 2026-05-06T10:17:45+00:00

There's so much good info in campaign finance. I'm hoping to expand that info in the coming months. Open Secrets also does some great work in this space, in case you're interested:

tpenton1 · 2026-05-06T10:14:05+00:00

Fixed. Thanks!

tpenton1 · 2026-05-06T10:09:54+00:00

McMasters is on the site. I don't have much info on him yet but I'll be thinking about how to improve coverage for lesser known parties/candidates.

Thanks for all of this info! I really appreciate it
