Getting to Know Congressional Senators

Getting to Know Your Congressional Senators

For the Unit 4 Assignment, you will identify your Congressional Senators. Using the Senate (senate.gov) website you will research your senators’ legislative accomplishments. You will then compose a 500 word essay in which you declare your support or opposition to your senators’ re-election.

Within a 500 Word essay please include:

• An introduction
• Describe your state. What are its major cities? Is it predominantly rural or urban? Does your state have important industry, finance, and tourist centers? Does the unique ‘make-up’ of your state influence legislation or policy positions?
• Does your state lean Republican or Democrat? Why?
• Who are your senators? What are their party affiliation, background, length of service, voting record, and key issues?
• Given what you have read for this week, do your senators follow the delegate or trustee concept of a legislator?
• Would you support your senators’ re-election to office? Why or why not?
• Support your answer(s) with information obtained from the text and at least two academic sources.
• A conclusion
• Correct grammar and syntax
• APA format
