The public House legislative schedule — the same for every member, not anyone's personal whereabouts. No flight data, home locations, or real-time tracking.
Every figure here is real and sourced: identity, party, seat, term history, committees and contact (congress-legislators); vote attendance, missed votes & how they voted (U.S. House Clerk, last 100 roll calls through 16-Sep-2026); campaign money raised and spent (FEC); stock-trade disclosures (U.S. House Clerk Periodic Transaction Reports); declared election opponents & the money they raised (FEC candidate filings), with opponent bios quoted from Wikipedia or Ballotpedia where a confident match exists; ideological placement (DW-NOMINATE, voteview.com) and party-unity (computed from the roll calls above); biography (Wikidata + Wikipedia); the 2026 session calendar (official schedule). Nothing on this page is invented. wheresmyguy? carries no flight data, home locations, or real-time tracking. Time-stamped information is delayed at least 4 hours by design — wheresmyguy? is never a real-time tracker.
