Earlier this week we talked about all the cool new applications over at OpenCongress.org (which are really taking off), and today we’re delighted to tell you that MAPLight.org has produced some new widgets that allow you to track fundraising for over 1,500 congressional candidates. These widgets are perfect for blogs, social networking pages, and personal Web sites, and they are completely customizable according to the candidates you are interested in.

The congressional money race widgets follow MAPLight.org’s August release of presidential money race widgets that allow users to track funds raised by presidential candidates.

Sunlight’s proud that MAPLight.org is one of its signature grantees.

On a related note, remember you can help our Congresspedia editors ‘Wiki the Vote’ by reporting on the full record of every candidate running for Congress.
