Comment from Congress.gov public survey, November 2023

client would like to be able to pull committee assignments from the API

One thing we haven't been able to find is party seniority listings within a committee.

Is there a reason you couldn't add it to the committeeAssignments object for each committee listed for each member? e.g.

{"committeeName": "Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry", "committeeCode": "SSAF00", "partySeniority": "3"},

{"subcommitteeName": "Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies", "subcommitteeCode": "SSAP01","partySeniority": "1"},

User here (GAO intern)-- would really appreciate this feature! Both committee memberships for each congressperson on the /member/{bioguideId} endpoint and memberships for each committee on the /committee/{chamber}/{committeeCode} endpoint
