About this project

A systematic mapping of the gap between formal representation and lived experience in domains defined by law and regulation, applied to Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District.

For each area, the project asks the same questions: What does the law actually say? How does it actually operate, in practice, for people in PA-3? Where do those two diverge? What would it take to close the gap?

This is a working example of how a People's Assembly framework could apply to a real place. The assembly is an idea — a second axis of representation organized by topic rather than geography. This demonstration in PA-3 shows feasability and provides a vision.

Technically, you could vote for me. This is a real project. But it's not a personal platform. The work is meant to surface where representation is failing in PA-3, not to advocate for any particular fix. I am working on some policy ideas separately, but my core platform is the Square Party - Write It In!

A future note

I am the sole contributor at this time, but the work has a built-in contribution architecture at the core; this could be replicated, extended and tracked from the beginning. And it can also transfer ownership, maintaining full version control.
