The graph below uses this data set to demonstrate how many times the states California, New York, Texas, DC, and Florida were mentioned by Congresspeople in their tweets on a single day in October, 2017. The reason I chose to make this graph was to find out which of these oft mentioned states was going through controversy during this period of time. As demonstrated below, Florida was the most mentioned state, followed closely by California. The lowest number of mentions was surprisingly New York.

The graph below uses data set 1 and data set 2 to show the stark gender differences in both houses of Congress. As expected, there is very little doubt that the percent of females relative to the percent of males is very low. This is known data, however, and efforts to increase female representation in Congress are ongoing and achieving success.
