Interaction Centers

From Gateway to Gov

One of the two core missions of the platform is to enhance communication between elected officials and their constituents. Every elected representative will have his or her own ‘Interaction Center’, populated with their factual information (contact information, committee memberships, etc.) and the decisions made while in office. The Interaction Center will serve as a shared workspace, facilitating two-way communication between representatives and their constituents. Representatives will control certain aspects of the page – public statements, contact info, etc. – and constituents will direct the topics of discussion. Users will have the ability to submit open letters to which the representative may publicly respond. All representatives will receive weekly updates reflecting the activity of their constituents.
