Who is my U.S. Representative?
One civics question no site can answer with a single fixed line: "Name your U.S. Representative." The answer depends on your exact congressional district, and — unlike your senators or governor, which depend only on your state — a single ZIP code can genuinely span more than one district.
Look it up by ZIP code
Why a ZIP code alone is not always enough
ZIP codes are USPS mail-delivery routes, not political geography: roughly one in six ZIP code areas spans more than one congressional district, and the overlap skews toward cities — exactly where most applicants live. When that happens above, the tool shows every district your ZIP touches with its approximate share, rather than guessing a single answer. If your result shows more than one district, or you want to be certain before your interview, resolve it precisely by street address instead:
house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative — the House of Representatives' own finder — or the Census Bureau's official geocoder, the same government dataset this tool's district boundaries come from. Write the name down and say it the way the officer will recognize it — for example, "my representative is [name]."
The rest of your "who represents me" answers
The test also asks for your two U.S. Senators and your governor — and those depend only on your state, so we can help directly. Find your state on the officeholder updates page or go straight to your state page, e.g. California, Texas, Florida, New York — every state has one, dated and verified.
Checklist before your interview
- My U.S. Representative: looked up above, or confirmed at house.gov with my street address.

- My governor: from my state page here.
- Re-check all three in the week before the interview — officeholders change.
