The Results Are In!

Citizen journalists evaluated congressional Web sites to determine whether they provided three kinds of information:

• Access to basic information on what our elected officials do in Congress (the bills they sponsor, the committees they serve on)


• information from or access to any of the legally-required disclosures they have to file (on personal finances or junkets they take)


• Any additional information that furthers transparency (their daily schedule, lists of earmarks they've asked for or gotten).

This page lets you look up individual members, for each state's delegation, and results for each question. You can compare how your elected lawmakers' sites stack up against other members.

We considered 40% a passing score; the average transparency score was 29%.
