Who Represents You

Every office that answers to your address. Office first, then the person.

We don’t save your address: it is sent once and is never stored. Only the place we found stays on this device.

Who represents you, by tier

The President and Vice President

Source: each office’s own published roster and Congress.gov, named under every card with the date it was last read. Every name opens the official’s page, where each fact carries its record. Party is shown as a word, never as a colour.

Choose your state

Hover or tab to a state, then choose it.

Geometry from the us-atlas package (states-albers-10m), which is built from the US Census Bureau's cartographic boundary files. The Census data is a work of the United States government and is in the public domain (17 U.S.C. 105); the packaging is Michael Bostock's, ISC. Projected Albers USA (Alaska and Hawaii inset), then simplified here to 0.45 units and rounded to one decimal. Not a survey, not a boundary of record, and not usable to decide which district an address is in. It is a picture you click to choose a state.

Map layers: what has been read

What each layer can show, what it cannot show, and why its locations are loaded or still empty.

7 layers declared. 0 locations loaded. 0 layers have a confirmed source licence. Not data. Every layer holds zero rows: no licence has been confirmed by a person, and this project does not put a pin on a map under terms nobody has read.

  • Public meetings · Not yet read

    When and where a public body meets, and where the agenda is.

    What this cannot show: Whether a meeting happened, what was decided, or whether the body followed its own notice rules. A posted meeting can be cancelled an hour before it starts and the calendar will not know.

    Why nothing is mapped: No source has been read. All three hosts are refused by this environment's proxy, and none is in the project's source registry, so no licence has been confirmed and nothing may load.

  • Farmers markets · Not yet read

    Markets a federal directory lists, with the season and hours it holds.

    What this cannot show: A market that never registered with the directory, and whether one listed is open this week. Listings are self-reported by the market and go stale between seasons.

    Why nothing is mapped: No key, no reading. The directory needs an API key this project does not have, and the host is unreachable from here to read its terms.

  • Automated licence plate readers · Not yet read

    Volunteer-mapped and incomplete

    Where a camera has been mapped, who operates it, and the written policy that governs it. Three fields, by rule.

    What this cannot show: Anything a camera recorded. No plate, no image, no capture, no search. And not where cameras are ABSENT: a street with no pin means nobody mapped it, never that nobody is watching.

    Why nothing is mapped: Overpass is unreachable from here and the ODbL's share-alike terms have not been read by anybody on this project.

    This page is not a live feed. Nothing here is streamed, monitored in real time, or automatically refreshed. Every entry is a record that a person or a scheduled review put here on the date shown beside it, and between those dates the world moves without us. A camera may have been installed, removed, replaced or repointed since this page was last read. A contract may have been renewed, cancelled or transferred. A case may have been decided. Where this page and the world disagree, the world is right and this page is out of date — treat every entry as a lead to verify at the source we name, never as a finding to act on. The find-it-near-you procedures exist precisely because the primary record is the only current one.

  • Officials' offices · Not yet read

    Where an office is, for offices whose address is in our own roster.

    What this cannot show: Whether anybody is there, or whether that is where a citizen should go. A district office and a capitol office are different places for different errands and the roster does not always say which.

    Why nothing is mapped: The roster holds addresses, not coordinates. Geocoding them is a separate job with its own source and licence question, and guessing a coordinate from an address string is the kind of inference this project refuses.

    • Outpost officials registry

      Licence not confirmed. Claimed: our own record

  • Polling places · Not yet read

    Where a voter's own polling place is, for their own address.

    What this cannot show: A map of all polling places. The source answers PER ADDRESS and publishes no bulk list, so this can never be a layer of pins covering a city — it is a lookup, and pretending otherwise would invent locations.

    Why nothing is mapped: This one may never be a pin layer. The source is per-address by design, so the honest surface is /ballot's lookup, and showing a scatter of polling places drawn from anywhere else would be inventing them.

  • Public libraries · Not yet read

    Library locations, as a public dataset lists them.

    What this cannot show: Opening hours today, whether a branch is closed for works, or what services it offers. A federal survey is annual and a branch changes faster than that.

    Why nothing is mapped: Neither source has been opened from here, so neither licence has been read.

  • Cook County property-tax offices · Not yet read

    Where a person physically goes for an assessment appeal, an exemption or a bill — the Assessor, the Board of Review and the Treasurer are three different offices for three different errands.

    What this cannot show: Which office a particular problem belongs to. /property-tax carries the procedure; a pin only says where a building is.

    Why nothing is mapped: Three county hosts, none reachable from here, none in the source registry, no licence read.
