State and Local Officials

Research one of your local or state legislators. NOTE:  These must be a California or local government within California official.

For example, if you live in San Francisco you could select your district’s Board of Supervisor member, your State Assembly representative, or your State Senator. Note that this must be on a California state or local level elected legislative official!  You could use the address for City College of San Francisco to determine who makes decisions in the area where the college is located.

Find information on your selected representative’s party affiliation, professional background, positions on policy issues and/or recent legislative work. Summarize this information in your discussion.  Be certain to include or cite your sources information.  Do NOT plagiarize!!

Evaluate how well you believe this individual is serving your district. Be specific in your evaluation with examples of what you believe shows successes and/or failure/shortcomings in representation.
