Add database of congressional canddiate promises #32
Description
"Each election cycle, thousands of candidates vie for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Until now, there has been no comprehensive, publicly available resource cataloging what those candidates say about who they are or what they stand for.
A new open-access database called CampaignView, created by researchers at the University of Notre Dame, offers researchers, journalists, and educators a powerful tool to understand congressional elections.
Developed by Rachel Porter, the Notre Dame du Lac Assistant Professor in Notre Dame’s Department of Political Science, the database project began in 2017 and has captured tens of thousands of campaign platform points and biographical narratives from congressional campaign websites over the past eight years."
