2008 civics test · Question 23 of 100 · American Government: System of Government

Name your U.S. Representative.

Answer

• Answers will vary. [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.]

Look up your answer: your U.S. representative, your U.S. senators, your governor and state capital.

This question is from the 2008 test, which is only for people who filed Form N-400 before October 20, 2025. If you filed on or after that date, study the 2025 test instead: see the same question on the 2025 test.
