Civil Services is a collection of tools that make it possible for citizens to be apart of what is happening in their Local, State & Federal Governments.

We have also built an interactive search tool that can show you some interesting demographic data on US Senators.

Senator Headshots

Civil Services created high-resolution photos for each US Senator and made them available in the following sizes:

• 1024 x 1024 pixels
• 512 x 512 pixels
• 256 x 256 pixels
• 128 x 128 pixels
• 64 x 64 pixels

You can either copy the headshots folder into your project, or we also offer a CDN.

If you are using the image headshots/512x512/bernard-sanders.jpg the CDN for that file would be https://cdn.civil.services/senate/headshots/512x512/bernard-sanders.jpg
