How can you find out who your representative is?

• A. By using the House of Representatives website, www.House.gov
• B. By calling the White House
• C. By checking the local newspaper
• D. By asking a neighbor

Answer: (A)

To find out who your representative is, you identify your congressional district based on your address and use the official House of Representatives tool to look it up. The House site has a “Find Your Representative” feature—you can enter your street address or ZIP code, and it will show the current member of the House for your district. This gives you the most accurate, up-to-date information because it pulls directly from official records.

Other options aren’t reliable for this purpose. The White House isn’t a directory for finding representatives, since it focuses on the President and national administration. A local newspaper may report on politics but isn’t a guaranteed, up-to-date source for who represents you. Asking a neighbor might be helpful for a rough idea, but representation can change with elections or redistricting, so it’s not dependable. Using the official House site ensures you get the exact representative tied to your address.
