# Targeting Voters — Overview

> How voter data works in Culper and how to find the right voters for your campaign.

Culper's voter database is the core of the platform. Every walk, text, and email you send starts here.

## What data is available

Every registered voter in Fort Bend County is in Culper with:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Identity & Registration">
    Name, date of birth, registration date, registration status (active/inactive), address, precinct, and all district assignments (congressional, state senate, state house, school board, ESD, etc.).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Party & Political Ideology">
    * **Party history** — which primary the voter pulled (Republican, Democrat, or none). This is the strongest signal.
    * **Modeled party** — vendor-modeled partisan lean on a 5-grade scale (Hard Republican → Hard Democrat).
    * **Political ideology** — Culper's 1–8 score from Extreme Conservative to Extreme Liberal, computed from all available signals.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Issue Positions">
    Flags for 20+ issue areas: 2nd Amendment, border security, pro-life/choice, evangelical, veteran support, Trump support, immigration, environment, healthcare, and more. Derived from commercial data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Demographics">
    Religion, ethnicity, education level, household income bracket, homeowner status, marital status, age. Available for most voters via commercial data enrichment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Contact Info">
