Charitable Cause.
Informing the Electorate
Pro-Democracy
It allows users to track their congressional lawmakers' voting records, sponsored bills, spending, and more, giving them the opportunity to make informed decisions and hold their elected officials accountable.
Mobile-First
Designed to resemble a social media application, it allows users to follow lawmakers, bills, or topics for updates in real time, instead of relying on the 2 year election news cycle.
Free Data
Using open-source data, the application pulls from a variety of government and non-profit API's. Transparent data is essential to building trust among constituents and sustaining a healthy democracy.
