Less jargon.
More understanding.

Hill Policy helps you understand the people representing you in Congress. We put campaign statements and official votes within reach, with enough context to draw your own conclusions.

Start with the original

Member identities and roll calls come from the House Clerk and the U.S. Senate. Campaign research starts with candidate-authored material, dated interviews, and clearly attributed questionnaires. Each published statement links back to its source.

Simplify the language. Preserve the meaning.

Automated collection and AI-assisted plain-language summaries make source material easier to read. Original wording, dates, conditions, and source links stay available so you can check the context. We correct and update information when needed.

A vote answers a particular question

Passing a bill, debating it, changing a rule, and ending debate are different actions. We preserve the official question and every recorded choice, including “Present” and “Not Voting.” A missing record is never counted as a vote against something.

Connections need evidence

A shared topic is not proof that a vote fulfilled or contradicted a commitment. A published connection requires the relevant historical bill text and provision, with an explanation of the connection. We do not assign kept-or-broken scores or partisan rankings.

Coverage is always visible

Campaign material is uneven. We label missing, undated, partial, and stale research. A page’s retrieval date is not its original publication date. A campaign win is not the beginning of congressional service.

Corrections and privacy

Email contact@hillpolicy.org to flag an error, attribution problem or rights concern. Include the page URL and supporting information. Where available, you can also use “Report an issue” on an evidence page. Reports are private, and contact details on a report form are optional. Our Privacy Policy explains cookies and how we handle your information. The site does not build visitor political profiles or use advertising trackers.

Portraits and source credits

We use identity-checked photographs from official sources when available. Otherwise you will see an initials placeholder. Each portrait retains its source and credit. Source access does not automatically establish permission to republish original material.
