The biggest contribution to my research process was learning about congress.gov. My research process began by going onto this website. At first, my solution was one that I had came across while writing my HCP essay. However, when I became aware of this site I was able to broaden my knowledge on the several solutions out there. That then led me to expand my research searches. Another struggle I came across was citing bills but was later solved by a simple google search.
