2) Customize Your Widget

Choose as many topic categories as you like! But remember: As the news agenda changes, some topic categories will have more activity than others.
Your state will not show in this list until we have questions centering your state. Till then, we suggest you take the national view so questions from your area can build up. Then make the switch!
Now you can also narrow your custom widget view by an individual U.S. Senator or Representative. Just start typing the name of the lawmaker in the auto-fill box above and select.
Helpful hint: You can only display one lawmaker at a time. If you notice there are no questions for your chosen lawmaker, click here to ask a question! And if you toggle to the 'Answers' view, you can hear the lawmaker's answers to previous questions.
Helpful hint: Make sure you are logged in if you pick this custom option - otherwise the site won't display your questions. Not registered? Join now! It's free, it's easy!
