Candidate Search

Use the filters on the left to search by location and office, then tell us where you stand on the issues that matter most. We rank the candidates who best match your views, flag where they don't align, and surface notices worth knowing — all on simplified baseball-style cards.

Current scope: Federal and State elected officials and candidates — U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and statewide offices such as Governor.

How to read these cards…

Center Field Politics shows each candidate as a simplified baseball collector card. Baseball stats (Batting Average, Home Runs, ERA-style reliability, etc.) are a simplified visualization layer that translates political data into familiar terms. Every number maps to a published formula, source-priority tier, confidence score, and dated citations — they are not a complete measure of any official's record. We aim to stay between the right- and left-field foul lines, so media/source bias is labeled separately from a candidate's own ideology.
