Who Represents Ricky the Railcat? Or, Who Represents Robert Turner High School?

This post is meant to help students Summer 1 with the second active learning assignment. 

I want you to find out who represents you on the state and national level and tell a few things about each person, and perhaps a bit also about the districts they represent.

You can find out who represents you by clicking here. There are other places you can go to find this information as well.
