A tool like this would have been more useful over the summer, when the primaries were being held. Those are multi-way elections, with candidates holding a diversity of opinions. That is your best opportunity to sway policy.
By the time it reaches the general election, those policies are set. Regardless of what your candidate believes, they are going to vote with the party practically all of the time. Your chance to inform the party platform was during the primaries.
Honestly, the most important vote they cast is the first one, for Majority Leader/House Speaker. That determines the entire agenda for the next two years. If they lose that, nothing else they believe matters, because it won't come up for a vote.
Thanks for writing this, and it's useful to give it a test run now. But it'll really become useful around January 2028, when primaries ramp up.
