It’s time to elect a new President this year! But did you know most of Congress is also up for re-election? 4USXUS lets you learn about your representatives before it’s time to vote for new ones this November.


While most people are focused on the presidential election race, Congress is heading for an overhaul of its own. 34 senators and all 435 members of the House of Representatives are up for re-election this year. That’s a lot of elections to get through, and it can be pretty overwhelming. On top of that, each person has their own voting record and policy history to consider. It can be overwhelming.

4USXUS makes it dead simple. Create an account and enter your address. The site will then show you the three people you need to be concerned with in your area: your two state senators, as well as the representative in the House for your district. You can check the profile of each one to see which bills they’ve sponsored, and voted for or against. There are also links to contact info for each senator and representative.


You can also dive into the bills themselves, if you want to learn more about a particular piece of legislation. You can get a summary of the bill and see the bill text, where available. You can also look up who sponsored it, and who voted for or against it.

The site also has some community tools so users can help each other understand the information they’re reading. Users can “vote” for or against a bill (though this is just used for 4USXUS’s own internal metrics, it has no effect on actual votes in Congress) and comment on profiles for bills or people themselves. There’s also a discussion board for general conversation.

Deciphering Congress’ methods is a maddening task, and the average person probably shouldn’t expect to understand everything they find on this site. However, as a tool for keeping track of your Congressional representatives, it’s astoundingly simple. At the very least, it’s a quick way to keep track of your state and district’s representatives, with handy contact info if you need to make your voice heard.
