About Call Your Senate
Government is complicated. Participating shouldn't be.
Call Your Senate is an independent civic resource built to make it easier to understand what's happening in Washington, find the people representing you, and make your voice heard.
Where It Started
It started with a simple problem.
Finding your senators shouldn't require digging through government websites. And knowing how to contact them shouldn't feel intimidating.
Call Your Senate began in 2019 as an independent project built around a straightforward idea: make civic participation easier.
What began as a simple way to help people find and contact their U.S. senators has grown into a broader civic resource for understanding government actions, following Senate elections, finding representatives and taking informed action.
The purpose hasn't changed. The tools have simply gotten better.
Our Mission
Help more Americans move from watching government to understanding and participating in it.

How We Approach Politics
We don't tell you what to think.
Our job is to make useful information easier to understand. Your opinions, priorities and political decisions belong to you.
Facts Before Commentary
We prioritize verifiable information and authoritative sources over partisan interpretation.
Plain English
Government information should be understandable without requiring a law degree or political science background.
Context Matters
A vote or bill means more when you understand what happened, where it stands and how it could affect people.
Your Opinion Is Yours
We provide information and civic tools. You decide what you believe, whom you support and what action you take.
Research & Accuracy
Start with the source.
Whenever possible, Call Your Senate prioritizes primary and authoritative sources such as Congress.gov, the U.S. Senate, federal agencies, official election authorities and government records.
When additional context is necessary, reputable reporting, research organizations and other credible sources may be used to help explain the larger picture.
Political information can change quickly. We work to keep information current and correct inaccuracies when they're identified.
See something that needs updating? Let us know.
Behind Call Your Senate
Independent by design.
Call Your Senate was created as an independent project and continues to be independently operated.
That independence matters. The purpose of the platform isn't to build support for a political party, candidate or ideology. It's to make useful civic information easier for everyday Americans to find, understand and use.
As the platform grows, that principle remains at the center of what we build.
Transparency
Good questions deserve clear answers.
A civic information platform should be clear about what it is, where its information comes from and what it doesn't do.
