Is the government you voted for working for you?
What the people you elected have actually done — every bill, every vote, in plain language — so that when you next vote, you decide on their record.
A non-partisan record drawn straight from Congress’s own published data. We do not tell you how to vote; we make it possible to see for yourself what your representatives have done, and what it has meant for people like you.
What this site is for
Every two years you are asked to decide whether the people representing you deserve to keep doing it. The record you would need to decide that exists — Congress publishes every bill, every vote and every member's name on each — but it is written for people who work there. This site takes that record and turns it into what an ordinary person would actually ask: what did the people I elected do, did any of it happen, and was it for people like me?
What “working for you” means here
- What they did, not what they said. A member's page opens with the votes they cast that decided something, and the bills they put their name to — grouped by where each one stands, because most bills never get a vote and a list that does not say so reads as if they all happened.
- What it would do, question by question. Each bill carries a plain-language summary of what it would do, and scores on more than a hundred questions like “Would veterans be better off under this?”, each with the one-sentence reason it was given. The scores are a careful first reading, not a verdict; how we make this explains how to weigh them.
- Where it stands. Passed the House, waiting on the Senate, signed into law, died in committee — every list here says which, in a sentence rather than a status word.
How it stays non-partisan
The facts — bill text, sponsors, every action, every recorded vote and how each member voted — are copied from congress.gov, govinfo.gov, clerk.house.gov and senate.gov exactly as published. Nothing here rewrites or scores them by hand. The plain-language layer is written by a model from those records, shows its reasons, and is one tab away from the text it was written from. We describe; we do not advise, and we do not characterise a party or a person as good or bad.
Where each fact comes from, how our copy is checked against Congress's own, how a score is measured before it appears, and how to tell us when something is wrong: how we make this.
Where to start
A ZIP code is enough to find the three people who represent you. Find who represents you, then read what they have done lately. Or start from what Congress has actually finished: the new laws, the recent votes, and the bills that have passed one chamber and are still moving.
