Congressional Quarterly

Congressional Quarterly (CQ) in the United States

The abbreviation for Congressional Quarterly (www.cq.com) is CQ.

From the editor of Congressional Quarterly:

“Together with his wife Henrietta, Poynter founded Congressional Quarterly in 1945 upon the premise that Americans should readily understand the real-life implications of their government. Poynter planned to achieve his goal by providing local newspapers around the country with in-depth information about congressional activity, which in turn could be used by newspapers to inform their reporting and educate their readers. He summed up the reasons for founding Congressional Quarterly (CQ), saying “The federal government will never set up an adequate agency to check on itself, and a foundation is too timid for that. So it had to be a private enterprise beholden to its clients.”

Today Congressional Quarterly provides authoritative, nonpartisan and accurate congressional news and legislative tracking tools to its subscribers.
