Amazing paper. Thanks so much for contributing this work. I work in civic tech and am very focused on trying to improve the gov system we have through technology. Are there any representatives you have seen recently that are doing a particularly good job gauging the pulse of their constituents? AND&#x2F;OR is there an ideal scenario you have imagined that is left out of the paper?<p>As an aside, as someone who has started one company in the space of citizen engagement and been in product exec roles at two others, I wonder whether or not rep engagement with constituents is a problem that can be solved with technology or if it is cultural in nature and requires more individual leadership to right the ship. I have met with a large number of reps from city, state and federal levels in order to build an understanding of the strategic problems that are top of mind for them. I have found (generally) that much more effort is paid in &quot;dealing&quot; with inbound messages and heading off harsh judgement in the court of public opinion than procuring good data.<p>TL;DR tech is important but far from a panacea and something reps don&#x27;t really think about.
