About the company

Legis1 is a congressional intelligence platform that goes beyond tracking legislation to reveal who’s actually driving it. By combining over 45 years of congressional and lobbying data, we connect bills, lawmakers, staff, lobbyists, and funders into a single networked intelligence system. Spun out of the nonpartisan Sunwater Institute in 2025, Legis1 is built for professionals who need to understand how policy and influence really move through Washington.

In Q3 2026, Legis1 Inc. launched AllCiv, a civic engagement, political data, and citizen-facing media platform that brings this same intelligence to the public through civic technology, transparency tools, and AI-assisted engagement.
