Posted by B.B. on Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 9:25am.

Could someone please help me find some information? I need to write a paper about my U.S. Representative in my area. My U.S. Representative is Brad Ellsworth. In this paper I need to describe the characteristics of my congressional district, I am not sure what I am suppose to write. Could you help me with this? Thanks for the help.

  Here is your Representative's webpage: http://www.ellsworth.house.gov/ It includes all kinds of information about him and the district. Be sure to go through all the menus across the webpage just under his picture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana's_8th_congressional_district Here is information about the district. Be sure to read it thoroughly and examine all linked data and articles.

  Do you know the number of your congressional district? Each state has a district numbering system. I would Google the words (state) "(congressional district __" demographics and see what comes up. Fill in the appropriate state and district number before Googling. Here is what I came up with for the 34th Congressional District of California: http://www.cpec.ca.gov/SecondPages/DistrictDetail.asp?House=Congress&District=34
