Mission:
LegiList makes the U.S. Congress understandable and accessible. We track legislation, votes, sponsors, committees, financial disclosures, and related activity with clarity, precision, and zero editorial spin.
What It Tracks:
Every bill that can become law. LegiList provides plain-language summaries, full action histories, vote breakdowns, related bills, sponsor relationships, committee movements, and publicly reported financial and lobbying activity that explicitly references a bill number — all sourced directly from official government data.
Legislator Pages:
LegiList includes complete legislator data from the 107th Congress (2001–2002) to the present. Each member of Congress has a comprehensive profile showing their sponsored and cosponsored bills, committee assignments, voting history, biography, contact information, and campaign finance totals based on FEC data from 2004 onward. Public financial disclosure reports are shown for Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, sourced directly from the Clerk of the House. These pages update continuously as new congressional or financial data becomes available.
Bill Pages:
LegiList includes every bill from the 107th Congress (2001–2002) to the present. Each bill has a dedicated page showing its title, summary, sponsor, cosponsors, committee referrals, full action history, vote results, and related bills. When Congress.gov provides an official text URL, LegiList links directly to it. Bill pages also include a link to a separate lobbying activity view when public LDA filings reference that bill.
Lobbying Disclosures:
LegiList displays federal lobbying filings that specifically mention a bill by number in their publicly reported activity descriptions. These filings come from the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) reporting system and include information such as the client, lobbying firm or registrant, stated issue, financial amounts, lobbyists, affiliated organizations, cited government agencies, and a link to the official PDF filing.
When a filer references a bill number, LegiList groups those filings by client and shows all stated activity connected to that bill. This gives users a clear view of documented lobbying efforts associated with legislation from the 111th Congress (2009–2010) onward, based entirely on what filers themselves reported.
My LegiList:
A personalized civic dashboard where users can enter their address to identify their U.S. Representative and Senators, pin lawmakers, committees, and bills, and follow a tailored activity feed that surfaces recent actions, votes, and updates tied to their selections. My LegiList includes quick filters, pin metrics, and a clean two-column layout for scanning what's most relevant. All address information and pin data are stored locally in the user’s browser — never on LegiList’s servers.
Financial Disclosures:
LegiList includes public financial disclosure filings for Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. These reports are sourced directly from the Clerk of the House through the official annual ZIP archives and XML “Member” listings published at
disclosures-clerk.house.gov.
All downloaded PDFs are stored and displayed exactly as originally provided, without modification.
