Find out how your reps voted:
One of the most FAQs I get.
While there are apps that will tell you how your rep voted, I think it's important to link to the official sites, so you can start
1) learning how to use the official House sites, and
2) get in the habit of checking out how other representatives voted as well!
Knowledge is power. 💪🏻
