What is YourRepRecord?
A grassroots accountability network documenting elected officials’ votes, funding, and public statements.
Why this exists
Elected representatives make hundreds of votes, introduce thousands of bills, accept millions in campaign contributions, trade stocks, take privately funded trips, and give speeches on the House floor. Keeping track of it all, and connecting it to their campaign promises, is a full-time job most constituents don’t have time to do.
YourRepRecord does that work. We track every House member’s record across voting, legislation, funding, financial disclosures, and public statements, using only official public sources.
Who we are
We are a small group of concerned constituents. We are not affiliated with any campaign, political party, PAC, or advocacy organization. We accept no advertising or sponsored content. Every data point is sourced from public records and attributed.
We score every member against one standard: do they put constituents’ interests ahead of corporate PACs, lobbying money, and party machines? No one will score 100%; money is too embedded in our politics for that. But voters deserve to see the full picture, and that’s what we’re here for.
What people are saying
“I’ve been monitoring Congress for decades as both a journalist and an activist — and this new website, Your Rep’s Record, is one of the best tools I’ve ever come across. It’s comprehensive and easy to use. I encourage people to try it and share it, whether they are journalists or researchers or simply active citizens.”

“YourRepRecord is a great resource for anyone who wants to know what the people we elect are up to without spending hours digging for the information. On one user-friendly site you can find your representative’s voting record on key issues that directly affect you and the well-being of your community. In these turbulent times, it’s often hard to make sense of what’s going on. Your Rep’s Record provides the kind of clear, fact-based information we need.”

Accountability Tools
In addition to member profiles, we provide 12 interactive data tools that let anyone search and explore congressional data that’s otherwise hard to find or buried in government databases. All tools are free, with no paywall or login required.
Our goal is to make accountability data freely available for every House district in the country.
Errors and corrections
If you believe any data is inaccurate or missing context, we want to know. Every entry includes a source link. Contact us with a citation and we will investigate. We correct errors publicly.
