In The Capitol

Congressional Scorecard

Now in its twelfth year, the annual Congressional Scorecard looks at the most important public interest votes in the U.S. Congress. These votes determined the direction of federal policy on critical issues ranging from health care to consumer protections. Read more.

Overview

OSPIRG helped found a Washington, D.C.-based federal advocacy office in 1983 to act as a watchdog for the public interest in our nation's capital, much as the state PIRGs have worked to safeguard the public interest in state capitals since 1971. Our organization's roots at the state level, and U.S. PIRG members across the country, give us a unique "outside the beltway" perspective and provide the grassroots power necessary to influence the national policy debate.
