See where you stand. Concord is the nonpartisan civic app for people who care about policy more than party. It turns civic noise into four useful answers: • NEWS: What is happening? Explore an AI-powered feed that groups the same story across outlets, shows which leans covered it and when coverage is one-sided, and lets you answer questions about the issues behind it. • COMPASS: Where do I stand? Get a clear breakdown of your views across sixteen policy dimensions without being reduced to a party label. • BALLOT: What is on my ballot? See your races and, where your state has published them, your statewide measures, with what a Yes and a No vote do and the official ballot language. Compass Insights shows how your own answers line up with a measure, where one has been reviewed. • BILLS: What are lawmakers doing? Follow federal and California bills with their official status and summaries, weigh in, and contact your representatives. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your answer history stays on your device. Shared answers leave it only as anonymous counts that carry nothing identifying you, and sharing can be turned off in Account. Concord takes no money from parties or campaigns. Sources: Congress.gov, the FEC, state legislatures (via Open States), state election offices, and California's Fair Political Practices Commission. Concord is not a government app and does not represent any government or political entity.
