Find elected officials
find_officialsRead-only
Who represents a place: members of the U.S. House and Senate, state legislators and the mayor, with contacts.
Give a geography `id` (a congressional district, state, city 'us:place:...', county, town or ZIP 'us:zcta:...')
or a point (`lat`, `lon`; geocode an address first). For a city, county or ZIP that spans several districts, each
representative comes with `share` = share of that area's 2020 residents in the district; for an exact answer use a
point. Members listed are those serving now (119th Congress, until January 3, 2027); the districts are the 120th
Congress maps elected November 3, 2026. In states that redrew for 2026 (AL, CA, FL, LA, NC, OH, TN, TX, UT) a
representative's `note` says they were elected under the previous map. A district with no member is vacant.
State legislators (state_legislators=True, except for a whole state, where pass it explicitly) come from Open
States; members in states that redrew legislative maps for 2026 (MI, MN, MS) carry a similar note.
Mayors (local=True) come from Open States (larger cities, while their term runs) or, failing that, Wikidata
(one current head of government, in office since 2010; their `note` says to confirm on the city's website).

US only for now.
