I'm glad we're slowly coming to our senses.

What are the implications of politicians swapping public office for corporate roles? Interestingly, this ‘revolving door’ might have political benefits for both the public and the private sector.
Thanks to @bcegerod.bsky.social of Copenhagen Business School for making us a little wiser 💡

I’m thrilled that this update is now officially public! Caleb, @mattgrossmann.bsky.social, and I spent quite a bit of time on this one. If you have any suggestions for improving the database or if you’d like to have your data included in CongressData please feel free to email me directly.
New CongressData update with its r packages & web app:
cspp.ippsr.msu.edu/congress/
We now have 1,000 variables at the district-member-year level, including 9 new data sources with area crosswalks, activist presence, primaries, environmental data, broadband, & legislative style

CongressData
The CongressData Project aims to compile, disseminate, and encourage the use of data relevant to research of the US Congress and tracks member-level variables across the states across time. We have gathered more than 900 variables from various sources and assembled them into one large, useful dataset. We hope this project will become a 'one-stop shop' for academics, policy analysts, students, and researchers looking for variables germane to the study of the US Congress.
