Assignment 1

The U.S. House of Representatives is composed of 435 members.
Please pick 4 of your favorite representatives. This is an early start to your major paper. Remember that one of the 4 you choose will be the congressional representative you will write about. You may want to look up a short biography on each representative's website to see if the person you will be writing on is interesting enough to write about. Be ready to tell your instructor one interesting and unique fact about each of the 4 representatives. Remember that terms in office and representation style have much to do with the amount of content you will find on a particular congressional representative.

Each paper should follow this example:
