Have a button on the UI, where when clicked, will show only bills sponsored by reps that represent you. This list will also be used to give notifications.
To filter bills by sponsors, we have 3 different data sets that have sponsors
Bunkum for Chicago City Council
Legiscan for State/Federal
Google Civic Information API
How to match sponsors between these APIs will be the main issue. Some ideas:
Looking at the office/ward. i.e. matching 46th ward on each API.
Matching sponsor name, but that may be risky (for example, names may be formatted differently on different APIs)
