About HowTheyAct

HowTheyAct is a free, nonpartisan congressional record tool. We compile official federal legislative data and present it clearly so anyone can look up their representative's record without digging through government databases.

What we show

Voting attendance, bills sponsored and enacted, committee assignments, tenure, leadership roles, and next election date — all from official federal sources.

What we don't do

• We do not score, rank, or rate members based on their votes or party positions.
• We do not editorialize. The data speaks for itself.
• We do not require accounts or registration.
• We do not store your searches or sell your data.
• We do not run ads.
