Got a website for this? A politician leaderboard sounds like it could do some good, even with Goodhart’s law.

I'm still working on my implementation. The hard part is data sourcing. This is about to run me a TB in storage to do and it's going to require some data archival. My estimate is that I can serve some, but not all cities. Just keep an eye on my user posts, I'm sharing it when it's live.

Not making a leader board to be clear though. The goal is to build a branchable leaflet style page based on zip codes that lists ALL the people that were elected. Clicking into the each person will yield details on any legislative actions, their attendance, publicly made promises, etc.

I'm really sick of hearing lip service from politicians so I want to build receipts that even a child could understand.
