Direct answer
Political watchers, hobbyists, and commentators who follow federal races can use Pachand to get alerts when committees file with the FEC, compare how much candidates have raised, and explore aggregate donor geography — without manually checking FEC.gov every day.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a political watcher?
- Anyone who follows federal elections closely — hobbyists, commentators, advocates, or voters who want filing alerts when committees report. Pachand is built for people who follow the money, not just campaign staff.
- Do I need to work on a campaign to use Pachand?
- No. Request an invite, add FEC committee IDs for races you follow, and get alerts when they file. Many users are political hobbyists tracking Senate, House, and presidential fundraising.
- Can I track Democratic and Republican committees?
- Yes. Add any federal committee on the FEC — candidate committees, party committees, PACs, and Super PACs — to your watchlist. See our DNC and RNC party committee guide for national party accounts.
