Congress.gov is a free database that allows users to track current actions in the House and Senate, as well as selected historical information going back decades. Join Christopher Brown for this webinar on using Congress.gov as a tool for finding out who your congressional representatives are, how to research what they have introduced, and how they have voted. In addition, we will discuss basic legislative history research.
The goal is to take the fear out of congressional research when we are asked those questions. Christopher will also show how to sign up for email alerts so that you can track bills or any legislative activity of your representatives in Congress.
If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.
