The Hampton Roads Daily Press has put together an enormously impressive Legislative Watch section of their website, allowing their readers to keep up with area legislators, and they’ve done it by integrating Richmond Sunlight’s database with their own website. DP readers are shown all ten of their delegates and all five of their senators, and a clever tab-based interface displays legislators’ stats at a glance, including party, district, committees, contact information, bills, and recently-cast votes. The paper even provides a tag cloud of legislation topics and a list of all bills filed.

We have an ever-expanding application programming interface (API) that makes it easy for website developers to pull data from our database and show it on their site, and the Daily Press‘ Aaron Bycoffe has done a bang-up job of doing just that. If you’re interested in integrating portions of Richmond Sunlight into your website, e-mail us and we’ll be happy to help you out.
