The main navigation at the top of every page provides quick access to:
Your personal democracy toolkit with four powerful tabs:

How to use: Search for representatives by name, district, or location. View their voting records, see how their votes align with your positions, and track their legislative activity over time.
How to use: Select a country and court level (federal or state). Explore recent Supreme Court decisions, read summaries, understand legal reasoning, and see how rulings affect legislation.
How to use: View your voting history, see alignment percentages with representatives, track engagement statistics, and identify which officials best represent your values.
