Digital Ad Spending by Candidate

Welcome to CA Ads
California Political Ad Transparency Project
This site tracks political advertising across California's 2026 elections — digital ads on Meta, Google, and Snapchat, broadcast TV buys filed with the FCC, and radio ad spending.
How it works: We collect publicly available ad data from platform transparency tools and FCC public files, then organize it by candidate, race, and media market so you can see who's spending what, where, and when.
You can browse active and archived digital ads, dig into broadcast TV and radio spending by station and DMA, and see side-by-side spending comparisons on the Ad Analysis page.
This is a personal project built for fun and public transparency. The data comes from public sources and is provided as-is — it may be incomplete or contain errors. If you need professional-grade media tracking and analytics, there are companies that do this for a living and will happily charge you for it.
