Congressional App Challenge Winner (CA-13, 2022)
Nothing's stopping you from reading through the Congressional Record or watching C-SPAN all day, but Pocket Congress makes information on the actions of your representatives and Congress as a whole much more accessible and searchable.
With the app, you can:
• See recent bills in Congress
• Find your Representative using your zip code
• See Congress members’ votes on recent bills.
• Read a brief description about them and view trends about how they vote
• Call their office, straight from the app!
• Follow bills & receive updates on their progress
You can also search for recent bills or through 30 years of historical data.
• Search by category, such as 'healthcare' or 'environmental'
• Search by bill name
• For advanced users: search by bill number and create advanced filters
For all bills, you can see their stage in the legislative process and a summary of the bill text authored by the Congressional Research Service.
Share links to specific bills and congressmembers (perfect for educating your friends or spreading the word on social media)!
