Pocket Congress

With the app, you can:

• Call their office, straight from the app!
• Follow bills & receive updates on their progress

You can also search for recent bills or through 30 years of historical data.
• Search by category, such as healthcare or environmental
• Search by bill name
• For advanced users: search by bill number and create advanced filters
For all bills, you can see their stage in the legislative process and a summary of the bill text authored by the Congressional Research Service.

Share links to specific bills and congressmembers (perfect for educating your friends or spreading the word on social media)!
