What we publish
Representative, vote, bill, and campaign-finance records begin with government or established public-domain datasets. Editorial explainers add context only when the underlying text, version, status, and sources can be identified.
How research is reviewed
- Source first. Material claims must trace to the analyzed legislative text, an official report, an agency record, or another clearly labeled primary source.
- Status is explicit. Introduced, reported, passed, enrolled, and enacted are not interchangeable.
- Analysis is labeled. Plain-language explanations and LegisLens calculations are distinguished from official descriptions.
- Limits stay visible. Missing information, uncertain interpretation, and implementation dependencies are disclosed.
- No partisan scoring. The same definitions and review gates apply across parties and members.
Dates and revisions
Research notes identify the text version analyzed and the most recent review date. When later congressional action materially changes the context, the note should be updated or clearly marked as a historical analysis.
Corrections
Send the page address, disputed statement, and supporting official record to corrections@legislens.net. Reproducible errors are corrected; material changes are reflected in the review date or correction note.
The methodology page documents source types, calculation labels, and the limits of vote interpretation.
