Every US Address Now Finds Its Members of Congress

July 24, 2026·Building in PublicParticipation Between ElectionsAccountability

On July 24, 2026, Agora''s National lens went live across the United States. Enter any address in the country and it resolves to your member of the House of Representatives and both of your senators.

Attached to each of them is their actual record: bills they filed, bills they cosponsored, how they voted on roll calls, and the committees they sit on. It comes from public federal sources and updates on a schedule rather than by hand.

Why the national level came first

We expected to build outward from one city. The data decided otherwise. Federal legislative records are national, published through a small number of public interfaces, and consistent across all 435 districts. Local records are none of those things. Every city publishes differently and some barely publish at all.

Serving the whole country at the federal level cost us less than serving a second city would have.

What this does not mean

It does not mean Agora covers your city council or your state legislature. That coverage is deepest in New York and thin elsewhere, and the app says so on screen rather than hiding it.

It also does not mean your member of Congress is going to answer you. The two-way half of Agora is what we are testing in New York first, with local offices, where a reply is a realistic thing to ask for.
