Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free?

Yes. No account, no paywall, no fees. Always free.

Where does the data come from?

All data comes from the congress.gov API, maintained by the Library of Congress — the official federal source for congressional records.

Is this tool biased?

No. We show facts only — attendance rates, bill counts, committee memberships. We do not score, rank, or rate members based on their votes, party, or policy positions.

Why isn't a former member showing up?

We currently show only current members of Congress. Former members are not included.

How often is the data updated?

Data is refreshed from congress.gov periodically. Legislative activity is updated as the API reflects new votes and bill activity.

What does voting attendance mean?

The percentage of recorded House or Senate votes the member participated in. This is a factual measure of participation, not an endorsement of any particular vote.

Do you store my searches?

No. We don't log, store, or share your search queries.
