The Mission

Congress Machine is clinical-grade infrastructure for civic transparency. Our goal is to make the complex inner workings of the United States Congress accessible, searchable, and visualized for every citizen.

By aggregating data from multiple government and public sources, we provide a unified dashboard to track legislation, monitor representative activity, and understand the flow of campaign finance.
