About this site

Nonpartisan by design

• Every score follows published rules, and the same rules apply to every member.
• Party colors only identify a member's party. They never signal good or bad. The map's shading uses one neutral color.
• Member pages don't use labels like "extreme" or "moderate" beyond the defined liberal-to-conservative rank.
• The methodology is reviewed by an outside university partner before launch and once a year after that.
• Member offices can add context to any vote. It appears next to the vote, labeled as theirs.

Privacy

• Addresses you type are sent to the U.S. Census Bureau's address service to find your district. We don't store them.
• "Use my location" works entirely in your browser. Your location is never sent to us.
• No ads, no tracking cookies, no data sold or shared.
• If we offer email updates, subscriber addresses will never be used for any client, campaign or political committee work, and will never be shared or sold.
