Modernizing Member and Committee Data

The Modernizing Member and Committee Data Project aims to revolutionize how data relating to House members and committees is managed, utilized, and shared within the Legislative Branch and with the public. Currently, data is fragmented and lacks important elements like swearing-in dates and is not consistently available in machine-readable formats. The initiative will consolidate information such as member details, session timings, leadership positions, and committee information to improve accessibility and transparency. Stakeholder feedback can be provided via various communication channels.
