Assignment :

Why not you? Why not now?

For this project, you will hypothetically be running for office. Choose whether you would like to run for the Texas House of Representatives OR the Texas State Senate. We will be doing the project in chunks, as we cover the material in class, so tasks may be assigned out of sequence.

Preparing to run: SLO #1

Know your district and discover the district number, and who represents you in the Texas house or state senate. Which political party is your state house/state senate representative affiliated with? (if you choose to run as a House or Senate representative, check the district that you want to run for.)

Go to your current representative's page, and look at the district analysis documents.

What does your district look like (in terms of population, age, education, employment, election results)?

What issues arise based on the district's demographics (this will help you think about your platform)

Is your district gerrymandered?
