A guide to what every U.S. senator actually stands for — written for students who are about to vote for the first time.
Our mission & vision
Politics is easier to
join when you can read it
We write up where members of Congress stand, issue by issue, and we show the public source behind each position, in words a high schooler can use.
Profiles link to Congress.gov, the Congressional Record and senators' own published statements, so you can click through and read the primary document yourself. That is the whole point: we would rather teach you where to look than tell you what to think.

Source documents are counted once across senator profiles, even when cited for several positions. Congressional records are matched by topic; a match alone does not establish support or opposition. Our research standards
What's on
your ballot
Senate races state by state, with the same treatment as sitting members: what each candidate says they'll do, and what they've done before.
