Transparency in government, in plain language — for everyone.
OurElected was built on a simple belief: the people who elect their representatives deserve to know exactly what those representatives are doing with that power. We track bills, votes, executive orders, and legislative activity at the federal, state, and local level — stripping away the legalese and political spin so you can see the facts directly, in plain language. Whether a bill affects your neighborhood or the entire nation, you should be able to check what the published record says and who voted for it. Coverage depends on the source records available for each jurisdiction.
We are a nonpartisan platform with no agenda other than accountability. We do not take sides — we take notes. Our goal is to give every citizen, regardless of background or political affiliation, the same access to information that lobbyists and insiders have always had. An informed public is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and we are committed to building the tools that make that possible.
OurElected is the public-record research app in the Our Elected Media network. It is an independent publication, not a government agency or an official government website. Public civic information is available without an account. Advertising and optional membership are intended to support the service; membership adds personal tools and removes our advertising.
OurElected is the organizational byline for the articles published here. Blog and newsletter prose is AI-assisted and requires human approval before publication. Research pages distinguish source records from generated explanations and link to the underlying evidence.
