pp_query

This function is primarily meant to be used by other functions in the package, but is made available in case a
"raw query" is required.

Provides wrapper functions to access the ProPublica's Congress and Campaign Finance APIs.
The Congress API provides near real-time access to legislative data from the House of
Representatives, the Senate and the Library of Congress.
The Campaign Finance API provides data from United States Federal Election Commission
filings and other sources. The API covers summary information for candidates and
committees, as well as certain types of itemized data.
For more information about these APIs go to: <https://www.propublica.org/datastore/apis>.
