Long description
OpenWatchdog helps people understand what members of Congress actually do — by making voting records easy to read. Congressional data is public, but the interfaces are fragmented and the language is dense. OpenWatchdog organizes vote history into simple summaries, highlights key votes, shows attendance and party alignment, and makes the record shareable in one click. The goal is straightforward: reduce friction between "I'm curious" and "I understand." OpenWatchdog is independent, nonpartisan, and not affiliated with the U.S. government.
