It shows the crux of the data very well. I like the viz. I wanted to show a bit more information and also compare how the current congress is doing compared to previous 5 and then comparing them to the rest. Also categorise the data between Democrats and republicans. The color yellow symbolises the latest and we are comparing it with the rest. We are also comparing it to the highest percentage of women reprentative. The dataviz is comparing the percentage of women reprentatives and how it has turned out for each Democrats and Republicans with each congress.
