Why CongressSearch?

Researching a member’s position is challenging.

Members of Congress cover many topics in committee hearings, but sifting through the hours of testimony to find the information you need is time consuming and boring. CongressSearch makes it easy by splitting transcripts into individual statements, organized by speaker, you can easily find what members have said.

Actionable insight for your clients.

CongressSearch can help you:

  • Prepare clients to be hearing witnesses by using past records to anticipate questions
  • Predict how a member will vote on an issue by looking at their past statements on the topic
  • Craft an issue narrative that will resonate with a member by reviewing their past reactions
