Civic tools for people who live somewhere.
I'm Adam Overberg. I build fast, free web tools on open government data — starting with districtry: click any point on the map and see every civic district that contains it, and exactly who represents you there. No login, no ads, no fuss.

districtry
One click, every district: city council, county board, state legislature, Congress, school board, courts, precincts and more, including tribal governments in several states, with the name of who represents you in each. Type a ZIP code and it shows which wards or districts that ZIP code crosses. It started in Chicago as the Chicago District Explorer. It now answers in 17 states and cities, and covers 97 of Illinois's 102 counties, from the Wisconsin line to Cairo. My goal is all 50 states. Along the way I keep a record of every place where this information is hard to get, and I use it to ask state and county governments to publish it in a form anyone can use. districtry.com → · why it took 102 conversations →
Open data, no middleman.
Government publishes the boundaries; I make them answer a question a person actually has. Everything ships as plain, dependency-free web pages — fast to load, easy to trust, built in Chicago.
17 places and counting — headed for all 50 states.
