2025 test · Question 29 of 128
Name your U.S. representative.
Depends on where you live
The answer is different for each state, for D.C., and for each U.S. territory. Look up the answer for the place where you live.
Coming up on November 3, 2026: House elections everywhere except Puerto Rico. This may change the answer in those places. Check again before your interview.
USCIS note: [Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.]
Our explanation
Each state is divided into areas called congressional districts. Each district elects one representative to the House. If you live in a U.S. territory, name your nonvoting Delegate or Resident Commissioner, or say the territory has no voting representative.
Remember it
Two senators represent your whole state. One representative represents your district.
