congress_member_full_profile
Retrieve comprehensive U.S. Congress member profiles including biography, committee assignments, and recent sponsored/cosponsored legislation in a single query for accountability research and legislative analysis.
Instructions
Get a COMPLETE member of Congress profile in ONE call — combines bio/details, recent sponsored legislation, and recent cosponsored legislation (3 endpoints in parallel). Returns party history, terms served, committee assignments, photo, website, plus legislative activity.
Use this instead of calling congress_member_details + congress_member_bills (sponsored) + congress_member_bills (cosponsored) individually.
Ideal for: Accountability research — cross-reference with FEC (fec_candidate_financials) for donors, lobbying_search for industry lobbying, and congress_house_votes / congress_senate_votes for voting record.
