Enter your address and find out everyone who represents you in U.S. government

Oh, yikes. It's much more complicated than that, especially to get localized offices and districts. I used to create voter data systems for candidates (clear back to when the data was available only on 9-track drives!), and it was quite a learning experience.

CA, for example, has become so carefully gerrymandered that one of the buildings in my neighborhood is split between Assembly districts.

It gets worse, or more detailed, anyway. Your city for your mailing address may not be your actual city of residence -- the true boundary is by real estate parcel. For example, there are many Los Gatos mailing addresses that are in Saratoga, or vice-versa, plus many that are on unincorporated (county) land. Mailing address "city" is assigned for the convenience of the Post Office and only roughly parallels actual political boundaries, which are always by parcel.

So, you could differ from your CA neighbor in any of these respects:

Assembly district

Senate district

Congressional district

City (or none, if unincorporated parcel)

County Supervisorial district

City council district (for district cities, as opposed to at-large council cities).

There have been other sites that gave this level of detail:

- Project Vote Smart, which is still there but I can't find any tell-me-my-districs feature anymore, even after registering.

- Smartvoter.org is still there, but it oddly wasn't updated for the 2016 General. You can tell your districts that were up for a given election by looking at that ballot, but I don't see a comprehensive way to see all of your districts there (any seat not on that particular ballot is omitted entirely).

It's funny how it's always American who "forget" to mention that something is scoped to their country. I kind of always felt that given that their country is so vast, they must feel like there is nothing more out there, or at least it's not worth mentioning. I've found many, many American businesses trying to sell their product via ads or other kind of marketing, but "forgetting" to mention that they are US-only. I'm not trying to attack American people or something, it's just a personal (and probably very biased) observation that I've had.

Actually, this title doesn't do the service justice -- it yields detail clear down to local offices and gives a detail '+' link for each to get details like contact information.

For example, this is what is returned for a given, random Sunnyvale, CA address; the lone change I would suggest is to have the county and then city offices listed last to maintain a sequence of decreasing granularity. Note that Sunnyvale is an example of at-large city council representation, so all are listed. Very nicely done!

This website believes the Auditor-Controller for Santa Barbara County is Robert Geis, but he retired last March and was replaced by Theodore A. Fallati. I also wouldn't say that it is fair to say that this is "everyone": it is missing all of the local special districts (such as the Goleta Water District and the Isla Vista Recreation and Park District) that I would argue are much more important to my life than the person who is currently the "Treasurer-Tax Collector-Public Admin." (someone I believe I have never actually met, despite having been extremely active in local politics for years and having run to be a County Supervisor, even now being elected to the board of a new district which will come into existence in March 2017).

I'm one of the millions of Americans living overseas. Who represents us?
