Hi all -

Pigeon is a Chrome extension I built that allows you to get the contact info about your elected officials right from within Gmail.

I wanted a quick-and-easy way to click a button, see my official, and then click to open a new compose window.

I use two different APIs (one for American, one for Canadian) to access elected official data, based on your location.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Could you make a static page with the list and a bunch of mailto: ... links? Maybe their website link as well?

Yep very possible. Decided to make it an extension for now tho

This is amazing, are you open to extending it to Ireland? Happy to put in a PR for this.
