About MyReps.info

A nonpartisan, open reference site for every elected official in the United States — local, state, and federal.

What We Do

MyReps.info lets any American find out who represents them at every level of government by entering their ZIP code. For each politician, we show their full voting record on every bill they've voted on, every piece of legislation they've sponsored or co-sponsored, and how to contact them directly.

Every bill has a plain-English summary so you don't need a law degree to understand what your representatives are voting on. Summaries are sourced from the Congressional Research Service when available, and generated by Claude (Anthropic's AI) when they aren't.

Our Principles

Nonpartisan

We present voting records and facts — no editorial framing, no partisan spin. Every politician gets the same treatment.

Transparent

All data sources are listed. Every bill summary says whether it came from CRS or was AI-generated.

Open

The site is open source. You can view, audit, or contribute to the code on GitHub.

Data Sources

OpenStates

ZIP code lookups and state legislative data for all 50 states.

Congress.gov API

Official Library of Congress API for federal members, bills, votes, and CRS summaries.

Nominatim / OpenStreetMap

Free geocoding to convert ZIP codes into coordinates for lookups.

Claude (Anthropic)

Generates plain-English bill summaries when no official CRS summary exists.

Data is refreshed automatically every Sunday. Last-updated dates appear on each profile page.

How It Works

MyReps.info uses a “LLM Wiki” architecture inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM knowledge base pattern. A background pipeline runs weekly, pulls data from official government APIs, writes structured Markdown articles for every politician and bill, and publishes them as a static site. This means pages load instantly and the site works even if upstream APIs are temporarily unavailable.

All editorial decisions — what data to show, how summaries are worded, what sources are trusted — are made by the site team and enforced through the pipeline. No user-submitted content is accepted.
