What Mandate watches for you

  • 50 statesplus DC and Puerto Rico
  • CongressEvery House and Senate bill
  • Federal rulesFinal and proposed, every agency
  • DailyNew activity checked every day

Most teams find out too late.

Policy moves fast. Thousands of bills and rules move every session across 50 statehouses, Congress and federal agencies. Enterprise platforms that keep up cost five figures, and still leave the reading and the memo to you.

Mandate does the first read for you, so a solo lobbyist, a lean association or a growing policy team can cover more ground, brief clients and members faster, and act before decisions are made.

From bill to action in one afternoon.

  1. First, tell us what you do.

    Describe your organization in a sentence and pick where you operate. Mandate suggests the topics to watch, and you fine-tune them. Setup takes about five minutes.

    The watch profile: the organization's name and description, the topics it cares about and the search terms Mandate uses to match bills.

  2. Then get only what matters, explained.

    Every match is rated by impact with a plain-English reason, the next step and any deadline. A weekly brief lands every Monday.

  3. When it counts, turn your people into a voice.

    Open any bill to see the analysis for your organization, set your stance and launch a campaign. Supporters enter their address, see their own lawmakers and send a signed letter in two minutes.

Three jobs, done.

Most teams start with tracking and add campaigns the first time a bill threatens their business.

Why teams choose Mandate.

  • Data you can trust

    Every bill in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, every House and Senate bill, and rules from every federal agency, pulled from official legislative and agency sources and checked for new activity every day.

  • Built by policy pros, for policy work

    Mandate was built by people who have worked on Capitol Hill and inside the policy industry. Impact assessments and weekly briefs are written the way your team already writes them, so you can share them without rework.

  • Proactive intelligence

    Mandate reads each new bill and rule against your organization and tells you what changed, why it matters to you, and when to act, so you hear about it before the vote instead of after.

  • Fits your workflow

    Set the states, issues and keywords you care about. Configurable alerts, saved searches, notes and spreadsheet exports fit the way your team already works.

  • Security and data protection

    Your workspace is private to your organization, and your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can export it or ask us to delete it at any time, and we never use your organization's data to train AI models.

  • A platform and a partner

    For larger teams and associations, a Mandate forward-deployed engineer configures Mandate around your issues, connects it to your internal systems and data, and keeps it tuned as your priorities change. No internal build and no separate tech budget.

Why Mandate exists

Alex Turner Founder, formerly at FiscalNote
I spent years selling policy software to the largest government affairs teams in the country. The independent lobbyists, associations, advocates and businesses who work the law every day could never afford it. Mandate is built for them.

Questions, answered.

Do I need a credit card to start? No. Start your 14-day free trial without a card and see this week's bills in about five minutes.

What does Mandate cover? Every bill in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, every House and Senate bill, and final and proposed rules from every federal agency, checked for new activity every day. You choose the states you watch, and can add Congress and federal rules to any plan for $99 a year.

Can I cancel anytime? Yes, from your billing page. Plans are month to month with no contract.

Is the impact analysis legal advice? No. Mandate reads each bill's title, summary and latest action against what you told it about your organization and explains the likely impact in plain English. Treat it as a first read: confirm dates against the official source and talk to counsel before relying on it.

When do alerts arrive? Your brief goes out every Monday. On Multistate and National plans, a new high-impact assessment also sends an email after the scan that finds it.

Do campaigns cost extra per message? No. Campaigns are included on every plan with no per-message fees. Mandate records when a supporter starts an action, with the state and ZIP code they give; it does not confirm delivery to the lawmaker's office.

Is federal tracking extra? Federal is a $99 a year add-on to any paid plan. Congress and federal agency rules do not count toward your state limit.

We need more states or more users. Email us and we will put together a plan that fits. Larger teams and national associations are welcome.

Your next law is already in committee.
