Everything you want
to know about us

All voting data comes from the official Congress.gov API, maintained by the Library of Congress. This is the same source Congress uses for its own public records. Every bill name, vote count, and representative vote we display is sourced directly from this API — we don't add editorial interpretation to the raw vote data.

For the House, we pull votes from the House Clerk. For the Senate, we pull from the Senate's official vote records. Both are updated in near-real time as votes are recorded in Washington.

Your alignment score tracks how often your representative votes in line with your stated positions on policy issues. When you sign up, you tell us which issues matter to you (healthcare, climate, the economy, etc.). As your reps cast votes on bills in those categories, we compare their vote to the position you indicated — and calculate a running percentage.

The score is:

• Non-partisan — we don't tell you what the "right" vote is. We track whether their vote matches your stated position, regardless of party.
• Career-wide — we track votes across their entire career from day one, not just the current session.
• Transparent — every vote contributing to the score is visible in your dashboard so you can audit the calculation yourself.

The score sharpens over time as you answer more issue tune-up questions and as your reps cast more votes in your selected categories.

Voting data is pulled from Congress.gov and updated regularly throughout the week. The weekly email digest is sent every Monday morning covering votes cast the prior week (Monday through Friday when Congress is in session).

During congressional recesses, your representatives aren't casting votes — so your digest will note when Congress is not in session rather than sending an empty email.

No. You can enter your address and browse your representatives' voting records without creating an account. The address lookup and vote history are completely open.

An account is required if you want to:

• Receive the weekly email digest
• Save your issue preferences
• See your personalized alignment score
• Get instant alerts when your reps vote on your selected issues

Creating an account takes about 30 seconds and only requires an email address.

Right now we cover federal officials only — your U.S. House representative and two U.S. senators. State legislative data (governor, state senators, state house representatives) is on our roadmap.

Federal data is well-structured and accessible through official government APIs. State legislative data is significantly more fragmented — 50 different systems, varying levels of accessibility, and no consistent format. We're building state coverage carefully to ensure the same data quality you get for federal officials.

No. We are deliberately and structurally non-partisan. Here's how we maintain that:

• All voting data comes directly from official government sources — we don't add editorial framing to vote outcomes.
• The alignment score is calibrated to your stated positions, not a party platform. A conservative subscriber and a progressive subscriber looking at the same rep will see different alignment scores — both accurate.
• We never tell you how to feel about a vote or which way a "good" representative should vote.
• We cover all three of your representatives regardless of their party affiliation.

We're a civic tool, not a political one. The record is the record. What you do with it is up to you.

Your email address, home address, issue preferences, and voting alignment data are used only to power your personal experience on the platform. They are not sold, rented, licensed, or shared with advertisers, political organizations, data brokers, or any third party.

Our revenue comes from newsletter sponsorships — organizations pay to be featured in the digest. Sponsors do not get access to subscriber data. They buy reach to our audience, not access to it.

You can delete your account at any time by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Delete my account." We will permanently delete your email address, address, issue preferences, alignment history, and all associated data within 30 days.

You can also unsubscribe from the weekly email at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send. Unsubscribing stops the digest but does not delete your account or data — email the address above if you want full deletion.

Simply enter your new address in the search bar on the homepage. If you have an account, sign in first — your new representatives will be saved to your profile automatically when you run the search. Your alignment history from your previous address remains in your account for reference.

There is typically a 24–48 hour delay between when a vote is cast in Congress and when it appears in our system — the Congress.gov API processes and publishes official vote records on that timeline. If you're looking for a vote from earlier today, it may not be available yet.

During congressional recesses (typically August, Thanksgiving week, and the holiday break), no votes are being cast, so the voting record will not update during those periods.
