The oldest continuous legislature in the New World · tracked in real time

407 years old. Tracked like it's 2026.

The Virginia General Assembly has been meeting since 1619 — the oldest continuous law-making body in the New World. The way most people still follow it hasn't caught up: refreshing a government website, waiting on a newsletter, hoping someone forwards the right email. LexScope is the upgrade — it watches every bill for you and tells your team the moment one changes status, by email or a spoken audio readout you can listen to on the drive in. Built for the people who make Virginia democracy work: advocates, legislative staff, government-affairs teams, engaged constituents, and the press.

What your team actually looks at

A real watchlist, tracking real bills from the 2026 session — not a mockup.

How it works

Three steps, running quietly in the background

No dashboard to babysit. LexScope does the reading; you do the deciding.

01

Track

Search and filter by committee, patron, or bill number to find what matters to your organization, then add it to your watchlist. LexScope tracks every new and amended action on it automatically, all session long.

02

Alert

The moment a tracked bill moves — introduced, referred, voted, amended — your team hears about it by email or a generated audio readout you can play back like a briefing.

03

Coordinate

Log whip positions, keep contact notes on legislators and staff, and share it all across your team's seats — so the person testifying Thursday knows what the person who called Tuesday learned.

Who it's for

Built for everyone tracking the same session

Advocacy teams, legislative staff, government-affairs firms, and the press all watch the same bills move — none of them has time to read every one.

Advocacy & nonprofit orgs

Coalition and policy teams

Advocacy and nonprofit organizations tracking a working list of bills across a full session — and needing to mobilize a coalition the moment one moves.

  • Track by issue area, not just bill number
  • Share tracking across a small policy team
  • Audio readouts for staff between meetings
Legislative offices

A delegate or senator's own staff

A typical General Assembly office is the member plus one or two aides — small enough that LexScope's per-organization pricing was built with this office in mind, not against it.

  • Constituent-relevant bill monitoring
  • Whip counts and contact notes in one place
  • No per-seat pricing to justify to a small staff
Government affairs & lobbying firms

Client-facing advocacy teams

Firms working multiple clients' interests through a session need to say, with certainty, which bills moved and when — organized by client, not buried in one shared list.

  • Organize tracking by client or issue mandate
  • Whip counts across dozens of active bills at once
  • A record of activity you can hand to a client
Journalists & press

Reporters covering the Capitol

Legislative reporting means knowing a bill moved, not hearing about it secondhand. LexScope works as a one-person monitoring desk, no press office required.

  • Real-time alerts the moment a bill's status changes
  • Audio readouts for research between interviews
  • District & party context ready to cite

What's included

Everything a session needs, nothing it doesn't

Free

Email alerts

Instant email notifications the moment a tracked bill's status changes — no extra cost, no extra setup.

Audio readouts

Bill summaries generated as spoken audio, built for listening between meetings or on the drive to the Capitol.

Team seats

Five seats included per organization, with admin roles and an invite flow — sized for how small policy teams and legislative offices actually operate.

Whip position tracking

Log where each legislator stands on a tracked bill and watch it shift as the session moves.

Contact notes

Keep a running record of every conversation with a legislator's office, visible to your whole team, not just whoever made the call.

District & party context

Every bill and legislator comes with the district and party detail you need to prioritize outreach without a second lookup.

How LexScope compares
