GovTrack is Tracking Your Government

GovTrack.us tracks the activities of the United States Congress and the White House to help Americans be the best advocates for the issues they care about and to create a more open and accountable government. We’ve been tracking Congress since 2004 over at www.GovTrack.us and started tracking the White House here in 2025.

Over at www.GovTrack.us, we publish the status of federal legislation and voting records, information and statistics about representative and senators in Congress, and news and commentary about Congress.

GovTrack.us is a project of Civic Impulse, LLC, a completely independent entity which is wholly owned by its operator and receives no funding in any form from outside organizations. We have no financers, sponsors, investors, or partners, nor do we have any affiliation or relationship (financial or otherwise) with any political party, government agency, or any other outside group or persons, other than our subscribers and advertisers.

GovTrack.us began in 2004 and inspired the world-wide open government and open government data movements. We have testified before Congress multiple times about our work and how to make Congress a more open institution.

We’re a small organization with a few part-time staff members.
