Where I Stand

Stand anywhere in the United States and find out who represents that spot. Where I Stand turns a location into an answer: your state, your county, your city or town, your congressional district, and the people who hold those seats. Tap a name to call their office, write to them, or see how they voted on the laws that mattered. NOT JUST CONGRESS Most of the law you actually meet — schools, policing, housing, roads, courts — is written in a state capitol by someone almost nobody can name. Where I Stand shows your state senator and state representative beside your members of Congress, for all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico: 7,421 legislators in 6,831 districts. IT WORKS WHERE YOU ARE, AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING Point at any spot on the map — a town you're driving toward, a place you've never been, the district next door. You don't have to be standing there. VOTES, AND THE MONEY THAT FOLLOWED THEM For each representative, see how they voted on the major laws passed since 2021, beside the federal money that reached their district. The app shows both without editorializing, and says where every number came from and when it was pulled. NO SIGNAL REQUIRED Every boundary, district and place record ships inside the app. There is no map server to reach. It works in a canyon, on a plane, and where coverage is a rumor. BUILT TO BE READABLE Text scales to 200% on top of your system setting. There's a high-contrast mode, a plain-language mode, a one-handed layout, and party colors chosen for red-green color blindness, with letter badges so color is never the only signal. WE DO NOT COLLECT YOUR LOCATION Working out where you are happens on your phone, against data bundled in the app. We don't collect your location, store it, or have a server to send it to. The app sends Expo, who host its updates, startup and screen timings and details of unexpected errors, labeled with a code for this installation that can survive reinstalling; they carry no location and nothing you typed. The app is supported by ads, and our ad partner collects information for that purpose. See the privacy policy. OFFICIAL SOURCES NOT A GOVERNMENT APP.
