Local Offices #2

Open zmaril opened 10 years ago

zmaril commented 10 years ago

From a friend: "[A]dding local offices would also be cool. Some legislators have certain offices that only handle certain things (for example, if you live in Springfield and you want to talk to Dick Durbin's office about how he feels about the Affordable Care Act, you have to call the Washington office. But if you want to talk about services for veterans, you can only call the Springfield office)."

This would depend on the sunlight foundation api. It doesn't look like the non DC offices are included though, so hurm.

Check out the open data from Sunlight Foundation and govtrack.us. I feel like this is all buried in there somewhere and just hasn't made it over to the API yet.
