Representation Gap Explorer

The gap measures the distance between what verified constituents say they want and what their representative actually did on the record — vote by vote, issue by issue.

Demonstration data — not a live government record

How the gap is measured

For each tracked issue we pair district sentiment (verified-constituent Public Pulse responses, minimum sample 1K) with the representative's recorded action — a floor vote, cosponsorship, or public commitment. A negative gap means the action ran against majority sentiment; a positive gap means it aligned. The magnitude reflects the size of the majority the action diverged from or matched.

Divergent (acted against majority sentiment)Aligned (acted with majority sentiment)
Read this before drawing conclusions: a representation gap does not prove corruption, capture, or bad faith. Officials sometimes vote against district majorities because of classified briefings, procedural strategy, constitutional judgment, or conscience — all legitimate parts of representative democracy. The gap is a transparency tool that tells you where to ask questions, never a verdict. It is shown for officials of every party using identical methodology.

Minimum sample size: issues appear here only when at least 1K verified constituents in the district or state have responded on the question. Smaller samples are collected but withheld from the leaderboard to avoid overstating noisy sentiment.
Neutral by construction: both parties appear among the largest gaps and the most aligned entries. Every figure on this page is demonstration data about fictional officials, generated with identical rules for each party.
