Congress vs the country

CQ Roll Call tracks Congress. USLege tracks the country.

CQ Roll Call has no 50-state product, state coverage is not part of it. USLege is one platform for all 50 states plus federal, not two subscriptions stitched together.

See it, do not just read it

Live hearing video and full transcripts, across all 50 states

CQ Roll Call is a congressional tracking and news product, it is not built around live hearing video. USLege transcribes every hearing live across all 50 states and federal, synced to video, searchable, tied to the bill.

Why USLege exists

We started in the states

Every state runs like its own country. Different rules, different calendars, a different culture inside every capitol. USLege founder Laura Davis worked in Washington, D.C. and in the states, and saw the gap firsthand: federal tools that stop at the Potomac. USLege was built to close that gap.
