How each member votes, questions, and leans — worked out from everything they’ve said and done in committee, on the floor, and in the press, with the vote or statement behind every line.
Walk in knowing the room.
A member, a committee, a strategy — tap a question and a cited answer comes back, receipts included.
Thousands of attributed statements resolve into one answer — every line traceable to the statement it came from.
Primary Sources Only
Perch already ran the comparison for every member — how often a vote matches the words, and the exact bills where the two part ways.
Not an impression. A count, with the votes behind it — the question a single transcript can’t answer, and a room full of them still won’t.
Perch reads a member’s testimony, their office’s press releases, and — the piece that’s hardest to pin down — what they actually told reporters. Each source labeled, so a press line is never mistaken for what they said under oath.
Then it sets the reporter’s quote beside the vote. What they tell the press and how they govern don’t always line up — and that gap is the story.
Tell Perch who your clients are and what they care about. When a hearing moves their issue, the brief is already waiting — angled to that client, cited, ready to hand over. An alert tells you something happened; a brief tells you what it means.
If your job is knowing where a member stands before you walk in, Perch is the prep.
