One thing we haven't been able to find is party seniority listings within a committee.

Is there a reason you couldn't add it to the committeeAssignments object for each committee listed for each member? e.g.

{"committeeName": "Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry", "committeeCode": "SSAF00", "partySeniority": "3"},

{"subcommitteeName": "Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies", "subcommitteeCode": "SSAP01","partySeniority": "1"},

User here (GAO intern)-- would really appreciate this feature! Both committee memberships for each congressperson on the /member/{bioguideId} endpoint and memberships for each committee on the /committee/{chamber}/{committeeCode} endpoint
