Researchers tracking federal legislation and campaign finance
Worth noticing
Member activity is shown without scores or rankings; campaign-finance figures are explicitly framed as evidence, not causation.

Field notes

Its bill-grade method is described as using eight criteria applied to full statutory text, with evidence attached to each grade. The member view is limited to sponsorship, cosponsorship, and factual voting activity rather than a score or ranking; campaign-finance entries are described as FEC-reported and explicitly disclaim causal inference. The homepage says longitudinal comparisons span the 115th through 119th Congresses as coverage expands.
