How it works
From an address to the people who represent it
My State Reps helps campaigns, civic groups and ordinary people find their federal and state representatives and reach them through official channels. It is nonpartisan: party affiliation is shown as plain information, the same way for everyone, and nothing is ranked, rated or colored by party.
Addresses
When you enter a street address, we send it to the U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoder, which returns the congressional district, state senate district and state house district containing it. We then show who holds each seat. The address is not stored or logged; see Privacy.
District lines are the ones current officeholders were elected from: the 119th Congress’s districts and the state legislative districts in place for the 2024 elections (Census vintage ACS2025_Current). Where districts were redrawn for upcoming elections, the new lines take over here when the winners take office.
ZIP codes
A ZIP code alone works, with a caveat: ZIP codes are mail routes, not districts, and many cross district lines. We use the Census Bureau’s relationship files between ZIP Code Tabulation Areas and districts to list every district a ZIP touches and how much of the ZIP’s land area each covers. If a ZIP sits entirely inside one district at every level, you’ll get a single answer. Otherwise you’ll see every possibility, and a street address will narrow it to one.
Who’s included
- Congress: your member of the U.S. House (or D.C.’s delegate) and both U.S. senators, from the public-domain unitedstates/congress-legislators dataset.
- State legislatures: your state senator and state representative, delegate or assembly member in all 50 states, from Open States bulk data (CC0).
- Coming later: city and county officials. They aren’t part of this first version.
Contact routes
For each person we show the official routes the sources publish: office phone numbers, office addresses, official email or web contact form, official website and official social accounts, plus the chamber’s own directory or contact page. Many members of Congress accept messages only through a web form on their official site.
Freshness and known gaps
- Officeholder data is re-imported daily; the last update was November 2, 2026. Sources can lag behind resignations, special elections and appointments by days or weeks.
- A seat with no officeholder in the data is shown as possibly vacant rather than guessed.
- New Hampshire’s floterial House seats overlap several towns and aren’t yet matched from an address; those members still appear on the New Hampshire page. Maine’s non-voting tribal representatives appear on the Maine page.
Spotted a mistake?
Corrections to officeholder data are best made at the source — congress-legislators for Congress and Open States for legislatures — and flow here on the next daily update.
