About

What this is

Unscripted Congress is a page for every member of the U.S. House and Senate. Each page has the member's committees, contact details and, over time, short video clips of them answering real questions.

Where the data comes from

Member details come from the congress-legislators dataset, which is in the public domain. Photos come from the Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress.

Neutrality and clip selection

Every member gets the same page, whatever their party. Each clip shows the question that was asked. Each clip links to the full original, so you can watch it in context. Clips are chosen to show a member answering a real question. They are not chosen to embarrass or to promote anyone. If you spot a mistake, tell us through the YouTube channel.
