I love councilmatic and I link to it on our CTU website. I especially use it when we want to do an action and have members and supporters contact their alderman about an issue.

I would really love it if you all could publish some embeddable code that would directly query the data portal and just return the ward number for address. That is, just embed the Find Your Alderman function in a web page maybe for use in a modal popup. I suppose I could spend hours trying to understand your code and parse just the finders function and return the data in the perfect way for me, but... that's a lot of work for a junior coder like me.

Of course I encourag you to add a styled link to councilmatic.org or datamade to promote your project.

Just a thought. I'd really love it!
