Delaware's public record, organized so every citizen can use it.

Updated October 14, 2026

A growing suite of dashboards on how Delaware spends, performs, votes, and serves its people — from federal dollars and the state checkbook to schools, water, childcare, and the voting record of every legislator. Every number traces to a public source, nothing is editorialized, and the work is nonpartisan. We show you the data; you decide.

About this site

First State Lens is a Delaware civic outcomes platform. Each dashboard tracks a specific legislative initiative against measurable real-world results, with every published number sealed to a methodology version and a public source. The analytical CMS — methodology source-of-truth, source registry, lineage graph, briefs — is maintained in a separate private workspace; published methodology is mirrored to a public Quartz site (methodology.firststatelens.com, forthcoming). Built by FirmSide AI · Civic Analytics Lab. The brand is deliberately decoupled from any single stakeholder.
