Where the photographs on this site come from.

Portraits of sitting and former members of Congress are official congressional photographs, which are in the public domain.

The 117 photographs below are of candidates who are not in Congress. Each comes from Wikimedia Commons, where its author released it for reuse. We cropped each one to fit; nothing else was changed. A candidate with no photograph that is free to reuse is shown with initials.
