Find who represents you

The most useful thing this movement can do for a new visitor takes about fifteen seconds: show them their own representatives, with what those people actually did.

How the lookup works

Enter your address or your ZIP. The app resolves it to your districts — US House, state House, and your Senate seats — and returns the current holders of each. The mapping tables are part of the open data repository, so if it gets your district wrong you can see exactly which row is wrong and say so.

Your address is used to resolve districts and is treated as private. On a local install it never leaves your machine at all.

What to look at first

Start with the acts, not the award. The award is a summary; the acts are the evidence. Scroll to a vote you have an opinion about and check whether the record matches what you believed.

Then look at the blocks. Floor votes are public and heavily reported. What a representative kept off the floor is where the surprises are.

Then look at the gaps. If the record thins out for a period, that is worth knowing before you draw a conclusion, and it may be something you can help close.

Then do something with it

The seat block is a starting point, not a destination. From a record you can call the office and log the call, propose a correction, add a source, or — if you have concluded this seat needs a better option — look at who is running against them.
