= - HOUSE ELECTION PROJECT =

On November 2, elections will be held for all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. You and your partner(s) will be choosing __one__ of these election races and creating a **“House Election Profile.**” These profiles will be posted online and updated as the election draws nearer. The purpose of the profile is to examine in detail a single Congressional race then compile and share a detailed record of that election while putting it into the larger national context. ||= ||

**Your House Election Profile will include a variety of information and images, as follows**:


 * District facts **
 * The name of the House district (e.g., “Maine 1st”)
 * A map of the district

 * Candidate profiles for each candidate that include: **

 * Picture
 * Positions on major issues
