curious how you handle territories and dc. those are usually the edge cases that break此类 apis. also - is this pulling from the official gov sources or a compiled dataset

Data sources I'm using:

https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators

https://github.com/OpenSourceActivismTech/us-zipcodes-congre...

https://geocoding.geo.census.gov/

From my tests so far the territories and DC are pretty well covered.
