Over a thousand bills, every vote and cosponsor on the record. See which bills would have helped everyday people, who killed them, and what your representatives did.

I made an app that tracks bills in Congress, who they help or hurt, and what ultimately happened to them. Still pulling in data, but I’d be interested in people’s thoughts.

    I think of it more for average people who might generally dislike congress but often like their own representatives they voted for. Congress does have famously low favorability, but congress also has extremely high rates of re-electing incumbents. I think plenty of people don’t consider the politicians they like are still part of the problem

      Those people aren’t likely to download an app nor likely let an app sway the opinion of “their” incumbent.

      You know who I bet would love it, though? People canvasing against the incumbent. It’s great to have a list of votes to make your case with.
