A match made in Washington

Posted on 09:51 by Unknown
Posted by Brittany Bohnet, Google Elections Team

You may have noticed that the Google Maps team is pretty interested in politics. On the flip side, we've discovered a politician who is enthusiastic about maps. Senator Ben Nelson has been creating My Maps to communicate and connect with his Nebraska constituents. He has made maps to share photos, videos, and insight from a trip to Iraq; to showcase attractions in Nebraska; and to highlight the volunteer work that students statewide are doing over spring break. Read more about his innovative use of maps on the Public Policy Blog.
