Political GPS’s Congress Tracker gives you detailed information for each member of the US Congress. From biographical information and links to each member’s website to in-depth voting information and the ability to easily contact each member by phone, email, or twitter, Political GPS helps you to learn more about your congress.
Enter your zip code, and Political GPS will find all of your applicable representatives in Congress. See what percentage of the time each votes with his or her own party, and view past roll call votes: yea, nea, or otherwise. Select a certain vote to view information on that bill. View a list of sponsors and cosponsors for each bill, and if you’d like, you can then drill into all of the information and records of each sponsoring or cosponsoring member, just as with the first member you started to research. Go back to the information on the bill you were viewing the sponsors of, and read an official CRS summary, or if you choose, the full text, organized by article and section, with a full table of contents.
If you don’t feel like browsing through the full list of senators and representatives, use the search feature. Looking for a certain person? Search for him or her by name. Looking for all representatives for a certain state? Search by that state’s name. As you type, Political GPS Will already be displaying results.
Congress Tracker really puts the power into your hands to find out more about the representatives that serve you in Congress. If an election is coming up, for example, nothing reveals more about the type of legislator each member is than looking back at the roll call voting records, sponsored or cosponsored bills, and partisanship, or lack thereof, for each member. And Political GPS puts this all in your pocket, in a centralized location, so that you don’t need to waste your time looking for everything. Find out more about the Congress that serves YOU with Political GPS.
