A new dataset about the Senate #31
Description
From github here, https://github.com/ippsr/congressData, with more information from the university of michigan available here, https://cspp.ippsr.msu.edu/congress/
Per their website:
The dataset is comprised of member-years and combines over 1,000 variables from numerous sources. Individual variable coverage varies, but the dataset includes information regarding all congressional districts between 1789-2023. The dataset tracks characteristics of congressional districts, the members of congress themselves, and the behavior of those members in policymaking.
Skimming the data, it looks like it's useful for assigning members of congress to the committees on which they serve. Appears to provide summary data about various senate committees and also information about house districts.
