caleblucas/congressData: Data Only: The CongressData Dataset

Contains the CongressData dataset (+ codebook) assembled by Matt Grossmann, Caleb Lucas, Josh McCrain, and Ian Ostrander. The dataset is comprised of member-years, though member-session data is also available, and combines hundreds of variables from numerous sources. Individual variable coverage varies, but the dataset includes information regarding all congressional districts between 1789-2021. Specifically, the dataset tracks characteristics of congressional districts, the members of congress themselves, and the behavior of those members in policymaking.
