About me: Maria Yuan is the Founder of IssueVoter, a non-partisan platform that offers everyone a voice in our democracy by making civic engagement accessible, impactful, & efficient. Maria's political experience includes introducing and passing a bill as a constituent, working in a State Representative's office, and managing and winning one of the most targeted races in Iowa – an open seat in a swing district.

About IssueVoter: Individuals use IssueVoter to (1) get alerts about new bills related to issues they care about, (2) send opinions to their Representative before Congress votes, and (3) track how often s/he represents them. IssueVoter is the only site that summarizes legislation in laymen's terms, along with bullet points from both sides, and offers a truly personalized representative "Report Card".

This August, we are excited to announce and launch #CongressReportCard to keep Americans informed and Congress accountable. With IssueVoter's personalized report card, becoming a more informed voter for the November election is as simple as checking your social feed! What is a passing grade for Congress? We encourage you to check your Member of Congress' Report Card (your Scorecard on IssueVoter), and share on social media if your Rep in Congress is passing or failing. Help us spread the word on social media by tagging screenshots of your scorecards and posts with #CongressReportCard.

You can sign up for IssueVoter here and follow us on Twitter, Instagram, & Facebook!

Here's a 1-minute video in our users' words from unscripted live interviews!
