feat( /nomination/{congress}/{nominationNumber}/{ordinal}) nominee API should return introText, organization, positionTitle

[ryparker]

This is a feature request.

It would be nice to have the following properties from the nomination details API (/nomination/{congress}/{nominationNumber}) included in the nominee API (/nomination/{congress}/{nominationNumber}/{ordinal}):

• introText
• organization
• positionTitle

e.g.

Request nomination details for 118/1906

curl 'https://api.congress.gov/v3/nomination/118/1906?format=json&api_key=<API_KEY> '

Request the nominees API

curl 'https://api.congress.gov/v3/nomination/118/1906/1?format=json&limit=250&offset=0&api_key=<API_KEY>' 

{
    "nominees": [

            "firstName": "Frank",

Suggested change to include introText, organization, positionTitle on each nominee:

{
    "nominees": [
        {
            "firstName": "Frank",
            "lastName": "Verdugo",
            "middleName": "R.",
            "ordinal": 19,
            "prefix": "Brig. Gen."
		   "introText": "The following named officers for appointment in the United States Air Force to the grade indicated under title 10, U.S.C., section 624:",
  			"organization": "Air Force",
            "positionTitle": "Major General",
        },
        {
            "firstName": "Neil",
            "lastName": "Richardson",
            "middleName": "R.",
            "ordinal": 18,
            "prefix": "Brig. Gen."
		   "introText": "The following named officers for appointment in the United States Air Force to the grade indicated under title 10, U.S.C., section 624:",
			"organization": "Air Force",
            "positionTitle": "Major General",
        },
		... 
    ],
    "pagination": {
