Stilltim: working on Delaware U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives and their lists, along with a failing effort to build U.S. Congress articles consistently.
Orchid Righteous - Expanding on Representatives as many of them are stubs, starting with the 109th.
Grandmasterka - I created a project proposal for United States Congressional Districts, without knowing that this already existed. The congressional district articles are sorely in need of attention and I will make that my focus. I'm surprised at how few have articles.
ElCharismo - Joined February 27 2006 after discussion with and at the behest of markles. I've been intrigued by the lack of uniformity amongst analogous articles, particularly between States, and after spending a significant amount of time editing in this genre already, I'm happy to be recruited into the project. I look forward to cooperating with everyone to pimp out & polish up this corner of Wikipedia! Non nobis solum! --Ross
Valadius - Filling in and completing the tables of former Representatives and Senators. Also I've largely completed the work on Dean of the United States Senate.
Sholom - inserting succession boxes from time to time where none exist, adding occasional stubs for former Reps, expanding stubs, etc. – Sholom13:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
WikiPrez - Helping out whenever I can, usually with ongoing projects of interest or COTW.
MBob - adding a key for political parties to pages which have member from those parties but are not specifically stated
User:Dcb1995 I have been working on writing bio sketches for the holders of Ohio's third congressional district - a few had been done for those who later went on to higher office plus recent delegations, but I filled in the blanks. I am now proceeding to Ohio's 6th district early sessions and then Ohio's 4th district sessions of the years of constant redistricting (1878-1892). My initial focus is to create sketches for anyone who represented Montgomery County (OH). I am also working on the redistricting history of the 20th century in Ohio, having recently completed the 19th. I want to do district maps for each of the 19th century OH CDs too.
Bjoel5785 Joined May 22, 2006. I have been working on Congressional Delegation and Congressional District pages and will continue to do so.
LarryQ Joined May 30, 2006. I have been working on adding articles for missing Representatives.
Chadlupkes. I've been working on the 2006 elections, trying to connect pages from various states by creating navigation boxes and helping others with research.
Stealthound (talk· contribs) Already doing a lot for these articles, co-created Infobox Congressmanelect and created Infobox Senator-Elect, added footnote option on Infobox Congressman and Infobox Senator.
Robert Waalk-focusing on election histories, committee assignments, and little edits and tinkers, like making sure that every page has a congressional template at the bottom, and a preced by and succeeded by template as well. Anyone who wants to join in on this project, contact me on my user page. My one concern is that our biographies need more meat, which could only be provided by people in that state. We need to write more about their races, their positions, and their lives, (early political careers, etc.)
1ne I've been creating a lot of stuff related to Congress...in fact, I have a template for the majority leader of the House.
Dcmacnut member since November 2006. Working on House and Senate committee articles, subcommittees, stubs, and overall factual and historical improvement of anything and everything related to the United States Congress.

Leobold1 (talk· contribs) Texas and other southern delegations
Pete (talk) – I've been working mostly on local Oregon-related political articles. I'm finding that many articles about current Senators and members of Congress, and elections, need a lot of work, and am going to try to branch out a bit.
