Yesterday House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released new app called “Whip Watch,” open for the public to access, which sends notifications to your phone about what’s cooking on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Here’s what his office had to say about it:
Many of the functions of the “Whip Watch” are newly available to the public, including the ability to access real-time updates on what’s happening on the House Floor throughout the day through real-time “Floor Update” alerts that were formerly only available through email to House Democratic staff. Additionally, the public could only get notice of the House Floor schedule by signing up to receive emails, called the “Daily, Nightly, and Weekly Whip,” through the Democratic Whip’s website. Now, the public can view these schedules through the app.
