Official Social Media Accounts

Members of Congress's official X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts come from the public-domain congress-legislators project; state legislators' accounts come from Open States. Bluesky accounts are included only when the handle is the legislator's own official website domain or has been reviewed by RepRights.

Legislators' Official Websites

Structured JSON-LD event records and calendar feeds published by legislators' official offices. Incomplete announcements and pages without exact times, locations or original links are not displayed.

Your privacy

RepRights has no accounts, sign-in or profiles. Your location or address is sent once, securely, to find your districts and is then discarded. RepRights keeps only your state, city and district numbers on this device. Shared caches store public government data by state and district — never addresses or coordinates.

We never guess

If a source is unavailable or an address matches more than one district, RepRights shows a notice instead of filling in information. Party is shown only when the official source reports it, and is never used to rank or filter anything. Events without a named legislator, exact time, location, and original official source are omitted rather than completed with generated details.
