Wrong issue.

Clout.wiki by Aldertrack also has bios on every council member. Bringing over and displaying these bios would go a long way towards humanizing the alderman pages. Would require permission from Aldertrack.

Here's an example page: http://clout.wiki/Edward_M._Burke

Re-raising this issue. There's a group at hack night that just want an easy way to find your alderman and call them:

Breakout group: https://github.com/chihacknight/breakout-groups/issues/90 Repo: https://github.com/ASchneidman/ChicagoCalls

Considering we have all the hard parts of this already figured out, it wouldn't be hard to, say, include ward office and city hall phone numbers for each alderman on their detail page.

Since it's fresh on our minds, I'd like to spruce up our alderman detail page with some of this info. Thoughts @fgregg @reginafcompton?

This would require

• change to import_data
• either changes to the person model in either django councilmatic or ChicagoPerson proxy model
• changes to the template.

I only want to spend my personal, hacking time removing import_data not making it more complex.

I would like to see enriched alderman pages, but this is not what I would work on next. However, if this is something you want to hack on, go for it.

in #323 we now have legislation_success_rate in ChicagoPersonStatistic but it is not very interesting. All alders have a 96%+ success rate, with the exception of Ward 50 Ald Silverstein (80%): https://chicago.councilmatic.org/search/?q=&selected_facets=sponsorships_exact:Silverstein,%20Debra%20L.&selected_facets=inferred_status_exact%3AFailed
