Iowa State MottoThe State Auditor watches the money. The FOI Council watches transparency. Ethics boards watch campaign finance. But no organization in Iowa specifically tracks whether elected officials comply with their constitutional oath. Not their promises. Not their party platform. Their oath to the Iowa Constitution and the United States Constitution. That changes now.
Every Iowa legislator scored on constitutional compliance. Searchable, public, updated with every session. Like a credit score for politicians, but based on the document they swore to uphold.
View the Scorecard →Iowa's constitution has unique protections the Iowa Supreme Court has historically interpreted more broadly than federal law. We track compliance with both, because Iowa deserves both.
We flag bills, executive orders, and government actions that conflict with constitutional protections before they pass. Not after. Prevention over reaction.
Constitutional accountability applies to every official regardless of party. We don't care about platforms. We care about the oath. Red, blue, third party: the constitution applies equally.
Our liberties we prize. Our rights we will maintain. OathWatch exists to make sure the people who govern Iowa remember that every single day they hold office.
