To search for a Member of Congress, enter the first name followed
by the last name in quotes. For example (Robert OR Bob) ADJ Dole.
To search for a state's congressional maps, enter the state name then the phrase "congressional district". For example: Pennsylvania AND "Congressional District*".
To narrow a search, use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, ADJ) and quotes around phrases. For example: "joint committee on printing" AND "staff director".
To find variations on words, truncation can be used. For example: legislat* will retrieve both legislation and legislative.
