Description

## Idea / Feature

Create an API that enables queries across multiple CDP municipalities.

## Use Case / User Story

As a researcher, I want to be able to easily gather data from across different CDP municipalities so that I can ask/answer questions about local politics across different regions.

_Todo: Insert more user stories_

## Other Notes

I've only given a user story that frames this API as helpful to researchers, but an API like this could have incredibly wide applications.

I could envision a really cool section of our public website where we conduct some basic data analysis and present that data in an interesting / visually compelling way.

I also suspect there could be a multitude of new product features that would stem from this one API.

We could also even go the route of hosting this data as an open-source API that could be used by anyone for cool projects.
