The Midterm What The Midterm Ledger covers
We are a guide, not a breaking-news wire. Our Senate, House, and governor hubs track the races that decide control of Congress and the states. Our people desk profiles candidates, our voting guides explain the rules, and our issue pages explain what voters are hearing. We do not claim to have reporters in every state, and we do not publish interviews we did not conduct.
How we are funded
The Midterm Ledger is an independent digital publication. The site is supported by display advertising, including Adsterra. Advertisers do not see stories before publication and cannot buy a place in a voter guide.
Editorial independence
No candidate, party, campaign, PAC, or government office has any role in what we publish. We do not endorse candidates or accept payment for coverage. Our editorial policy sets out the firewall between advertising and the editorial desk.
Accuracy and accountability
We check claims before publication and correct errors in public. Our fact-check policy explains our two-source rule; our corrections policy explains how to report a mistake.
Who writes the site
Bylines use the real names of the people who reported and wrote the page. Pages without an individual byline were written and edited by the desk. Our authors page explains how we verify credentials.
