CongressLookup free WordPress plugin

CongressLookup is a free WordPress plugin giving your site visitor an easy way to find United States US senators and representatives. CongressLookup makes it easier to launch a grassroots campaign for your favorite cause and will keep your visitors on your site instead of sending them elsewhere to find their Congressional legislators. Where The Data Comes From CongressLookup uses data provided by Google Maps GeoCoding API and Google Civics API.

We have added a cache feature (default setting is 30 minutes) you can set to reduce the number of requests made to the API. To obtain a Google Maps API key there is a link in: WP Admin > Settings > CongressLookup > Configuration, or do the following: 1. Go to the Google API Console. 2. Create or select a project. 3.
