What this site is for

Know My Rep exists to help students understand how government works, find out who represents them, and make their own informed choices at the ballot box. It is free to use for that purpose.

It is not advice

Nothing here is legal advice, and nothing here tells you how to vote. Civix explains how government works; it does not recommend candidates, parties, or ballot measures. If a decision matters, check it against an official source and talk to someone you trust.

Civix can be wrong

Civix generates answers from a set of civic sources and declines to answer when those sources don't support one. That design reduces confident nonsense, but it does not eliminate it. Treat Civix as a well-read study partner, not as an authority, and follow the source links when accuracy matters.

Nonpartisanship

Know My Rep is not affiliated with any party, campaign, or candidate, and does not endorse any of them. If you think something on the site reads as partisan, please tell us — that is a bug worth reporting.
