# Search & Query Voters

> Use natural language to find exactly the voters you need.

The **Query** tab lets you describe voters in plain English. Culper's AI engine translates your description into a precise voter filter and returns a list instantly.

## Writing a query

Go to **Dashboard → Query** and type what you're looking for. Be as specific or broad as you need.

**Examples that work well:**

```
Republicans who voted in the last primary in precinct 3009
```

```
Likely conservative women over 65 who haven't voted since 2020
```

```
All voters in Pecan Lakes subdivision with a mobile phone
```

```
Evangelical voters who support 2nd Amendment rights in Sugar Land
```

<Tip>
  **The #1 signal for "conservative" is voting in a Republican primary.** Culper uses that as the strongest indicator — more reliable than party registration in Texas's open primary system.
</Tip>

## Refining results

After your first query runs, you can **Refine** the result with a follow-up:

```
First query:  All likely conservative voters in Quail Valley
Refine:       Of those, only the ones who voted in the last 3 general elections
```

Each refinement is scoped to the previous result — you're narrowing down, not starting over. The full query chain is saved with the list so you can see exactly how it was built.

## Saving as a list

Click **Save as List** after any query to preserve the results. Give it a descriptive name like *"Sugar Land Conservative Women 65+"*. Saved lists:

* Can be used to generate walks
* Can be used for email or SMS outreach
* Can be refreshed against current data with one click
* Show their full query chain so you know exactly who's in them

## Query tips

| You want                  | Try saying                                                                 |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Republican primary voters | "voted in Republican primary" or "Republican primary voters"               |
| Low-turnout conservatives | "Republicans who voted 0 or 1 times in the last 5 generals"                |
| Contactable voters        | "voters with a mobile phone" or "voters with email"                        |
| Geographic precision      | Use subdivision names: "voters in Firethorne" or "voters in precinct 3009" |
| Issue targeting           | "2nd Amendment supporters" · "pro-life voters" · "evangelical voters"      |

## What the query can't do

* Cross-campaign data — queries only run against your campaign's voter universe
* Real-time data — voter records update with new county roll exports (a few times per year)
* Voter intent — Culper models ideology from behavior and commercial data, not surveys
