A nonpartisan public scorecard for every elected official in America.
GovScorecard turns the public record — bills, votes, committee work, and constituent engagement — into a clear, comparable profile. Free for the public. Free for legislators to claim.
The 5-minute survey shapes our nationwide scoring model — your input keeps the analysis fair and nonpartisan.

How We Score
Where the numbers come from.
GovScorecard is built on the public record — not opinion. Every score traces back to a verifiable source, and the model itself is open to legislator input before launch.
Public-record only
Bills, votes, committee assignments, and roll calls come directly from your chamber's official records. No editorialized summaries, no third-party advocacy data.
Nonpartisan by design
The scoring model weighs effort, follow-through, and engagement — not ideology. We publish the methodology so any legislator, on either side, can see exactly how scores are calculated.
Shaped by legislators
Before public launch, our nationwide survey invites every sitting legislator to weigh in on what should and shouldn't count. Your feedback directly tunes the final model.
