Cicero can provide data for public officials based on address or district. The Cicero class already includes API support for this, but there is no code to actually take advantage of it.

Steve also has code from Sam / IAVA, not yet in this project, that uses web services to get officials, data about current legislation, and voting records.

After we solve the geocoding problem, we should provide the option to create contact and account records for public officials, and connect every contact to their official based on the district data we have filled in. Legislator records could then "roll up" the number of constituents in the database who correspond to each official.
