Tools (46)

• lookup_representatives

  Find everyone who represents a full street address: the two US Senators and House member (bioguideId, name, party, state, district, chamber) plus every state legislator for the address (name, party, district, chamber, phone, email). The Census Geocoder resolves the exact districts; a ZIP code alone is not accepted because ZIPs cross district lines.

• list_state_delegation

  List all federal legislators for a state (both senators and all House representatives).

• get_representative_profile

  Get detailed profile for a specific legislator including committees, social media, biography, and contact info.

• compare_legislators

  Compare multiple legislators side-by-side. Returns profiles for each bioguideId.

• search_legislation

  Search for bills in Congress. Provide `query` for full-text keyword/topic search (e.g. "broadband", "veterans healthcare") via GovInfo's full-text bill index; results include a congress-type-number id you can pass to get_bill_details. Without `query`, returns the most recently updated bills (optionally filtered by type).

• get_bill_details

  Get detailed information about a specific bill including sponsor, cosponsors, committees, actions, and policy area.

• get_campaign_finance

  Get FEC campaign finance data for a legislator including total raised/spent, PAC contributions, and industry breakdown.

• search_lobbying

  Search Senate LDA lobbying filings from the complete corpus — every quarterly report (LD-2) in the covered window, not a sample. Returns registrant, client, spending amount, issue codes and the committees each filing touches, plus exact totals. Filter by quarter, by organization, or both. Amounts are plausibility-gated (income <= $5M, expenses <= $50M per filing).

• get_influence_chain

Superfund sites are returned STATEWIDE, not per district, because the EPA layer serving them carries no county FIPS. Includes serving representative.
