Promise Tracker

What someone said, and what they then did, each with its own source. Statements are quoted from the Congressional Record and cited to the page they are printed on. Votes come from the Clerk of the House's own record.

How this section works

This is the method the documents half of this site uses, pointed at people instead of texts: quote it, cite it, record what happened, and leave the conclusion to the reader. There is no score here, and the site never says whether a promise was kept or broken.

What this is

People say things. Then they vote.

This part of the site puts the two next to each other. What was said is quoted with the page it is printed on. How they voted comes from the official record.

Nobody is given a grade here. You look and you decide.
