<p>If you are trying to determine your <u>current</u> representative in Congress you must look at who your district selected in the last election, using the district lines as they were in 2014. Consequently, we will continue to show the districts as they were during the 2014 elections until the next class of representatives takes office on January 3, 2017.</p>
<p style="margin: 0">You may be voting in a different district in November. To prepare for voting in the 2016 elections, please consult other resources.</p>
