Welcome to Rate My Congressman, an interactive piece where you can share your thoughts about your representatives in Congress. Please use this blog as a forum to talk about those individuals who represent you in the House of Representatives for the 110th Congress. This blog is just the first step in a website that we are developing that will allow you to actually rate your representatives. The blog will be an integral part of that upcoming site, but we will also have applications that allow you to judge on a 1-5 scale, so stayed tuned for more information on those developments.
We have done our best to describe and map the districts, but if you have doubts about who is your representative, The House’s official webpage has a zip code finder that should tell you who is your representative.
Click on the photo of your rep or click on the title above the entry to start sharing your thoughts on your representative.
Thanks for visiting, sharing, and participating in the free voice that is a vital part of the democratic process.
