About
WhoTheyServe makes it easy to see what your elected officials are actually doing on the issues you care about — in plain language, without spin from either side.
How it works
- 1.Enter your zip code to find your representatives.
- 2.Pick a policy area that matters to you — healthcare, housing, education, and more.
- 3.See exactly how your rep voted on bills in that area, with plain-English summaries.
Our principles
- Nonpartisan. We don't rate votes as good or bad. We show what happened and let you decide.
- Plain language. Bills have confusing names. We summarize what they actually do in one line.
- Issue-first. Start from what you care about, not from a wall of legislative jargon.
- Transparent. All data comes from official congressional records via the Congress.gov API.
Why this exists
Most people don't have time to track hundreds of votes across multiple sessions of Congress. But those votes shape your healthcare costs, your kids' schools, and your neighborhood. You deserve a simple way to see what your rep did — not what they said on TV.
Data sources
All voting records, bill details, and member information are sourced from the Congress.gov API, the official public data source maintained by the Library of Congress.
