Advocacy Project: My Political Representatives

For this assignment we have been asked to identify our political representatives. Being Canadian this assignment took me in a couple directions and wasn't sure exactly what I should do. At first I started out by looking for my Canadian political representatives but with our government being different I decided to look at the representatives for where I am living while in the States. I really had know idea so it took more research for me so I could better understand what I was looking for. The following representatives are for Duluth, MN, my current city in the United States.

  1. Good formatting and lots of information. I myself had serious trouble finding information on all the "important people" ;) in office with me being born in Armenia and not getting too involved in U.S. politics. It took me an hour!

  2. Does the Canadian government have any similarities to the United States system?
