Marci Harris, CEO of Popvox, explains why the online advocacy and legislative data platform turned to crowdfunding site appbackr to finance its mobile offering for members of Congress.

When the U.S. House of Representatives began allowing members to use iPads on the House floor this year, Marci Harris saw an opportunity. The CEO of Popvox, a nonpartisan platform for advocacy and legislative data, believed that if she and her team could create a mobile version of Popvox for Congress to use, they could greatly increase their website's usefulness and reach.
