Congress+

Introducing Congress in Your Pocket, Plus Edition, for the 117th Congress, First Session (2021). This app ships with preloaded data for the 117th Congress, First Session (January, 2021). If you'd like additional updates throughout the year, you can get them through an in-app purchase.

OVERVIEW

No matter who you support, you can have every member of Congress in YOUR pocket or on your iPad. Use the app that tens of thousands of people who work on the Hill and with Congress everyday, as well as their constituents have on their iPhones and iPads.

This application offers all of the vital information you need to be an active and informed citizen. Learn all about who represents you in Congress, contact them in Washington, follow their campaigns and challengers, read their Facebook and Twitter pages, and see their YouTube videos. Share any link in the application via email, Facebook, or Twitter.

While this will be enough for most people, if you need over-the-air updates, separate sections for lists of committees and subcommittees, and well as the ability to share notes with your team, please consider our app CongressPro on the App Store. Congress+ is updated every few months during the session, usually with new content.

Remember, they work on Capitol Hill but they work for you.
