USA Target Databases

US City Legislators

Summary

The U.S. City Legislators database replaces the legacy databases for individual city councils (e.g. Los Angeles Councilmembers). Clients using these legacy databases should switch to this database for the most up-to-date information.

The U.S. City Legislators' post code database contains 530 cities and townships, including all U.S. cities with a population over 100K. The database contains nearly 4,500 contacts.

The database is mapped at the city district level, and allows supporters to target their unique district council members (in addition to any council members at large and/or city mayors).

Database filtering

The database has two filter fields, allowing supporters to target specific cities (using the filter State / City) with an option to target all contacts or only council members/mayors (by selecting a value in the Role field - Governing Board Member/Top Elected Official, respectively).

From the Target settings screen, click the pencil icon next to “All contacts” to filter the database.
