Why We Built This

We built ClearVoting because we couldn't find a simple way to see how our representatives actually vote. Congressional voting records are public, but they're buried in government websites, written in legal language, and hard to make sense of.

We believe democracy works better when everyone can understand what's happening in Congress — not just lawyers and policy experts. So we built a tool that takes real voting data and presents it in plain language, without jargon, without spin, and without telling you what to think.

What We Do Differently

• Plain language — Bill summaries written so anyone can understand them, not just policy experts
• No party bias — Party affiliations are hidden by default so you can evaluate representatives on their votes, not their label
• Just the facts — We show voting records and let you form your own opinion. No editorials, no ratings, no spin.
• Real data — Everything comes directly from Congress.gov and Senate.gov official records
