We The People of the U.S.of A.

Accountability Dashboard — Nebraska's Federal Delegation

All five — both senators, all three House seats. Voting records, FEC funding, bill activity, tenure, and accountability — real data where we have it, honestly marked "not built yet" or "not applicable" where we don't.

Total Raised, 2026 Cycle

Real FEC totals — same figures used across attendance-record.html, landing-page.html, numbers-that-never-lie.html. Officials not on the 2026 ballot are shown at $0 and excluded from the average.

PAC vs. Individual Funding Share

40% PAC share is the site's own #PAC_FUNDED threshold; 60% is #HIGH_PAC_SHARE (methodology v1.0)

Bills Sponsored vs. Cosponsored

Pre-rendered from NE_officials.json / Congress.gov — legislative activity, not a judgment

Time in Office

Public record via Congress.gov term history — not yet pulled through the site's own API pipeline (see note below)

⚠ Accountability Score — Not Real Data Yet

The A.N.S.W.E.R.S. scorer (answersv1.py) exists and runs, but every metric below is currently a placeholder heuristic, not a calculation from actual votes, bills, or ethics filings. The code comments say so directly: "Placeholder — in production, fetch from ProPublica API." That's why no composite accountability score appears in the KPIs or table above — showing one would look exactly like a real grade while being computed from things like "do they have a phone number listed."

Accountability (20%)Base 75 + has website (+10) + has phone (+5) + offices ×2.5
Oath Adherence (25%)Base 70 + has term start date (+10) + Independent party (+5)
Transparency (15%)Base 65 + has contact form (+15) + has Twitter (+10)
Constitutional Duty (20%)Base 70 + Senate chamber (+5)
Ethics (10%)Flat baseline 75 — no FEC cross-check wired in yet
Responsibility (10%)Base 70 + office count bonus

Real, working data clients already exist for this (data_sources.py: Congress.gov votes/bills, VoteView ideology, FEC financials) — they're just not wired into the scorer yet. That's the single highest-leverage fix before this dashboard can show a real accountability grade.
