RAYPAC donations to 2020 election deniers and the open source project they inspired me to create
When researching donation history for RAYPAC, I discovered that the FEC maintains a pretty awesome API into nearly all aspects of federal election finance called OpenFEC. This gave me the idea to write a small utility wrapping this API to allow a user to quickly pull historical data of direct donations from a specific PAC to any number of candidates someone might be interested in. For my use case of election deniers, I used data maintained by [](fivethirtyeight.com) to search RAYPAC FEC reciepts with my tool and  in just a few lines of code.

What resources do you use for following the Kansas legislature?
It can also send you to another resource, which would probably be much closer to what you're looking for. By selecting Find Your Legislator, then Search By Your Address, you will be taken to Openstates.org Here, you can select by your address or by State in the top drop down menu at the top of the page. If you create an account, you can track specific bills. Not entirely sure if you can do the same for legislators. However, you can see voting info by representative on their individual pages.
