"Can You Find Your Congressperson?" - The Winner

Thank you to everyone who participated in “Can You Find Your Congressperson”, our first contest at What Are You Looking At?

Here are some of your entries.

The first is from a source who wishes to remain anonymous:


Caption: Congressman Steve Kagen (D-WI-08) thinking “I hope nobody thinks this is my wife sleeping on my shoulder but I surely don’t mind her using her fur to keep me warm.”

Randy Koehn used the same picture and said “Kagen Keen for Cameras”

Peter Griffith examined what Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) was thinking to himself:



Garrett FitzGerald - who lives in the 5th Congressional District in Illinois - currently is without a Congressman since Rahm Emanuel vacated it to be Obama’s Chief of Staff. But he did find this interesting glitch in the photo:


Caption: “I hope no one notices that the top of my head is gone!”

Finally, the winning picture and caption was from Henry Ventimilla:


Caption: Congressman Elija E. Cummings (D-MD-07) hoping that the representative in front of him would “clap, cheer, or something, instead of dancing (or at least what he thinks is dancing)”

For his victory, Henry will receive Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns-Goodwin, a critically acclaimed book on the Lincoln Administration.

Thank you again for all of your entries! Be sure to stay tuned to WAYLA for more contests in the future and - as always - in-depth news and analysis of campaign politics and the political community.
