Officials

Representation lookup for a US ZIP code: both U.S. Senators, the U.S. House member for that ZIP's congressional district, and the state's statewide executives (governor, attorney general, and similar). Every official carries source_url (the capture origin) and source_link (a public page).

Search for politicians and elected officials across all levels of US government — federal, state, county, municipal. Filter by name, state, party, level, chamber, or office title. Returns officials with their current office, party, and contact info.

Get full details for a specific official by ID — biography, party, office, policy positions, committee assignments, campaign finance, social media, and contact info. All data includes source URLs for verification.

Resolve a messy name string (e.g. "Rep. Johnson", "cornyn") to a canonical official — returns the best match with a 0-1 confidence score and ranked alternatives. Use this first when you have a name but not an ID; then call politics_official with best.id. Add state to disambiguate.

Get all current officials for a US state — federal senators and representatives, state legislators, and any indexed local officials. Organized by government level.

Policy positions across officials by topic, covering who supports or opposes issues such as crypto, stablecoins, AI, healthcare, and guns. Each position carries a source URL and origin hash. Returns compact records by default (id, name, party, state, stance, summary, source) with a total count; the compact parameter controls row detail and offset controls paging.

Get summary statistics for the politics.rootz.global database — total officials, breakdown by level, party, state, and chamber. Shows coverage completeness.

Get the full origin timeline for a politician — every page snapshot, every position change, every data source with hash proof. The political wayback machine. Shows what changed, when, and where the data came from.

Get recent changes detected across all politicians — position shifts, website updates, new data. Each change links to the before/after snapshots with origin proof.

Get origin archive statistics — total snapshots, changes detected, origin proofs recorded, unique URLs tracked. Shows the depth of the political wayback machine.

Create a citizen bridge page — a personalized workspace for tracking representatives, comparing positions, and taking action (write letters, log calls). Returns a shareable URL that any AI agent can collaborate on. Optionally auto-populates with the citizen's state representatives.

Current state of a citizen bridge workspace: tracked officials, saved comparisons, drafted actions, and messages.

Compare multiple politicians side-by-side on a bridge page — positions, party, office, campaign finance. Optionally filter to a specific topic.

Draft a letter to a politician on the citizen's bridge page. The letter gets an origin hash for proof of content. Returns delivery options (email, web form, USPS, phone).

Details of a US bill or resolution: vote breakdown, sponsors, cosponsors, status, and origin proof. Returns metadata, a short text excerpt, and a text index by default; full legislative text is omitted because omnibus bills exceed typical token caps. The include_text parameter controls whether the complete text is returned in a single response.

Section index for a bill: every "SEC. N" heading with its character offset and length, plus the whole-bill origin hash (content_hash) and total text length. A small response that describes the structure of a large bill.

One signed, bounded slice of a bill's full legislative text, addressed by part number or section label. Each response carries part and total_parts, next_part, the slice's part_sha256, and the whole-bill content_hash. Parts 1 through total_parts concatenated in order hash to content_hash, so a bill too large to return in a single response remains verifiable as complete and unaltered.

Search bills by topic, sponsor, status, or congress. Returns bill metadata and whether full text is available.

Get a candidate's Campaign Data Standard (CDS) feed: a single machine-readable record of who they are, the offices they hold and seek, their positions in their own words (each source-linked), their voting record by reference, and declared data gaps. This is the standardized, signed feed an AI or reporter uses to grab a candidate's positions and verify they are genuine. Every MCP response is signed; the standalone signed feed is also at /official/{id}/candidate.json. Tier is "rootz-compiled" until the campaign claims and signs it ("candidate-signed").

Compare an official's stated positions against their actual roll-call votes, per topic — what they SAY vs how they VOTED, both source-linked. Does NOT label agreement/contradiction (you judge and cite); surfaces the juxtaposition no unsigned source can. Use official id.

Coverage map: per-state, per-dataset completeness (officials by level, positions, finance, state-legislative votes). Shows WHERE the data is deep (federal — complete) vs sparse (local). Use it to know whether silence means "no data captured" rather than "nothing there".

Get the complete origin proof chain for an official — every data source, content hash, quality assessment, snapshot history, and verification instructions. Proves where every piece of data came from.

Search Congressional Record floor speeches by official, topic, date range, or keyword. Returns verbatim text from the official government record with origin proof hash. Every speech is directly citable with a GPO source URL.

Registered federal candidates for the 2026 election cycle, filterable by state, office (senate, house, president), party, or presence of a campaign URL. Returns campaign website, social media links, FEC data, and position and speech counts.

Search state legislature votes across 26+ US states. Filter by state, topic, or date. Returns bill title, vote result, yes/no counts.

Search US municipalities (cities, towns, villages, counties). Every incorporated place in the US with coordinates. Filter by state, name, or type. Returns website, platform, meeting calendar, and board/commission info where available.

Creates a Just the Facts watchlist bound to an email address, covering any combination of specific officials, issue topics, and a town with state for local meetings, agendas, and minutes. Sends a double-opt-in confirmation email and returns the bridge workspace URL.

Search the SIGNED public-poll archive. Unlike aggregators, every poll keeps the EXACT question wording, population base (LV/RV/adults), sample size, margin of error, mode, and per-option toplines — first-party sourced, snapshot-hashed, and cryptographically signed (verifiable). Filter by race_key, state, subject (e.g. "approval", "Senate"), pollster, or since (ISO date). Returns a list; call politics_poll {id} for full detail + signature. Use this when a question hinges on what a poll ACTUALLY asked vs how it was reported.

Get one poll in full: pollster, sponsor, field dates, population, sample size, margin of error, mode, the VERBATIM question(s) asked, per-option toplines, the first-party source_url, and the signature (poll_proof) that binds the exact wording and numbers. This is the ground truth to check any claim about a poll against.
