The state of California has launched a new campaign finance disclosure search engine, allowing users to more easily track state-level political donations to elected officials.

Called Power Search, the site is an update to Cal-Access, the Secretary of State’s existing campaign finance portal.

Power Search allows users to filter campaign donations from a particular company or organization from 2001 to the present. Search results can also be filtered by date, amount, location and other criteria.

“Both the public and the press should have quick and easy access to campaign finance information,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a statement. “Power Search is the first step in modernizing and upgrading Cal-Access.”

The new capabilities weren’t available through Cal-Access, which launched in 2000. That web portal will remain up, despite the launch of Power Search, because Cal-Access offers information on lobbyists, which the new site doesn’t.

Secretary of State press secretary Sam Mahood said officials will consider adding more features to Power Search.

“We want to consistently evaluate how we can best improve transparency,” Mahood said.

Power Search was created in conjunction with MapLight, a Berkeley-based nonprofit research organization that tracks political donations, and funded with a $100,000 grant from the San Francisco-based James Irvine Foundation.

While Power Search doesn’t show donations to Los Angeles city ballot measures or local politicians, the portal links to the city’s web site that offers that information.
