RePresent's mission is to provide an intuitive interface through which American citizens can find primary source information on elected representatives, including their financial and electoral incentives.

RePresent will be designed to be as plainly objective as possible. We will only provide information from primary sources. There will NOT be any form of user input viewable by another user. Additionally, we will NOT provide any summarization, or any form of interpretation, except mathematical representations of statistical data.

We will focus on providing data including (but not limited to):

• Funding (source, quantity, date, etc)
• Legislative bills (which they supported, cosponsored, wrote, voted on, etc)
• The governmental body which they represent (demographic data, changes to district borders, etc)
• Locations of public appearances.
