Congress Alerts Claimed
Congress Alerts is a lightweight SMS service that texts U.S. constituents a concise, human-readable digest of how their Representative and two Senators voted - no apps, log-ins, or jargon required.
I launched Congress Alerts in July 2025 after realizing I was always hearing about votes days later. It’s built for time-starved citizens, journalists, and advocates who want real-time accountability without sifting through congressional websites. The service is live and looking for its first wave of engaged users. You can boost its impact by subscribing yourself, sharing it with friends or colleagues who follow politics, and sending feedback on the clarity or timing of the texts so the next iteration serves voters even better.
