This project was created with data scraped from the website of the Center for American Women in Politics at Rutgers University. The Center conducts research on women's participation in politics in America and maintains a list of women who are or potentially will be running for US Congress and State offices.
The code scrapes and combines data from their lists of women candidates, creates new variables, and visualizes the data in an interactive shiny map and searchable data table using plotly and DT packages .
See the app in action here and read a blog post about it here.
Data included in the app are up to date as of 6/4/2017.
