This is my final project assignment for General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive program. Here are the requirements:

1. A working API, hosted somewhere on the internet
2. A handmade front-end that consumes your own API, hosted somewhere on the internet
3. A link to your hosted working app in the URL section of your Github repo
4. A link to your repository hosted on your personal Github account, with a link to your hosted project, and frequent commits dating back to the very beginning of the project
5. A README.md file with:
   • Explanations of the technologies used
   • A couple of paragraphs about the general approach you took
   • Installation instructions for any dependencies
   • Link to your ERDs - Diagrams of your models and their relationships.
   • Link to your user stories – who are your users, what do they want, and why?
   • Link to your wireframes – sketches of views and interfaces in your application
   • Descriptions of any unsolved problems or hurdles you had to overcome

I am creating an app for users to look up female politicians.

As a woman aged 25-45 years old I want to see a list of women in politics so that I can increase the number of women in politics and also protect my rights

For this project, I will be using Ruby on Rails and React.

Implementation Problems: Making the API and having a keyword search option are the main issues.

Explanation to Solve the Problems: The politician's info API will be created from ProPublica Congress API and Google Civic Info API. The MapBox API will show the areas/state the officials serve.
