Hey, I think the site is great. However, one thing that i noticed is there's not much information on my state officials. I also don't see anything on local officials. I'm sure that information is harder to obtain but do you have any plans on expanding to include more information on state and local elections?

You are correct. I currently pull data from multiple resources but it's very time consuming to write the all code and then make the updates on a regular basis. Plus, it's just plain hard to find the data in a lot of cases, especially for local elections. I definitely plan on adding to the state level information and then, hopefully, one day start adding local information. I already have some local data but it's VERY thin so I've chosen not to spend time on it right now. I've been building this site at night and on weekends so it's taking some time to do the things I would like to do. I do agree with you though. I'm still working on the quality of the data right now and then I hope to start adding to the quantity.

Make sure you have email notifications turned on so you can get updates to major site improvements. Like most people, I hate spam so you don't have to worry about getting junk emails once a week like a lot of other sites send out. Plus, you can always contact me directly if you have any questions. And don't forget to check back often to see what's been added. :) Thanks for the feedback!

P.S. I like that username. Very cool.

Oh, okay. So, the site is only operated by one person? I guess I figured it was like other sites and had a team of people working on it. I could see how hard it would be for a team of people to collect all the information but it really must be hard for just you. Now that I know it's just one person providing this, I wanted to reply back and tell you that I think you're doing a great job. I will certainly keep visiting to see your progress and I've already shared the site with my friends on Facebook. Thanks!

Yeah, it's just me. It's certainly a challenge finding the time to do everything and keep up with my "day" job and family life. The hardest part was teaching myself how to write the code. That has been a long process. I'm hoping that more of my time can be spent on content now that I have most of the features built. I certainly have more that I want to do but I think I'll have to wait until traffic starts picking up. Speaking of that, thank you so much for sharing the site on Facebook. Without the resources for advertising and marketing, I'm relying on word of mouth to get exposure. Sharing with your friends and family really helps. Thanks!
