Govwatch

Know what Congress
is doing.
In plain English.

Every bill, vote, speech, and dollar — drawn from public government records and explained without the jargon. A free civic resource covering all 535 voting members of Congress plus the 5 non-voting delegates (540 in total).

Other sites publish the raw data. Govwatch connects it: which industries fund a sponsor's campaign, which floor speeches each member made about a bill, and how votes lined up with money — all on the same page, in plain English, with sources linked.

Get your district briefing

Bills affecting your district, how your reps voted, and where their money comes from.
