97 Percent

This is an application that I am developing as my final project for Launch Code's 'LC-101' program. I decided to take the 'front-end development track' and this project showcases what I have learned in this program.

What is it?

While researching this project, I came across the fact that 97% of members of the House of Representatives that were up for re-election in 2016 actually did, once again, get elected. As a result of this, I decided to develop an application that would make it very easy for a user to find basic information about their representative.

As a user I can find my representative's
