WASHINGTON - Today, Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Modernization & Innovation Chairwoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) and Ranking Member Norma Torres (CA-35) announced the official launch of LegiDex, the House of Representative's new online staff directory. LegiDex is a first-of-its-kind platform, built on data from a range of official House sources, that transforms the way staff can connect across House offices and agencies.

"We're so excited to see this project finally come to light," said Chairwoman Bice. "This new platform will help staff on all levels and allow for more collaboration between offices. The Subcommittee will continue our work to push the institution to be the best it can be for our Members, staff and constituents."

"LegiDex is a powerful example of what we can achieve when we work together to bring Congress into the 21st century. For too long, staff collaboration was hindered by outdated tools and fragmented information,” said Ranking Member Norma Torres. “With LegiDex, we’re empowering the people who keep Congress running with a modern, reliable platform that strengthens communication and promotes transparency across the House."

Background:

LegiDex was developed by the House Digital Service (HDS) at the direction of and in coordination with the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Modernization & Innovation. LegiDex evolved out of a recommendation made by the bipartisan Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress to create an online staff directory. HDS expanded on the Select Committee’s recommendation to create a truly unique platform with a number of features that will help staff work more effectively and efficiently.
