Hello Students!
As you can see, I'm not at school today. The substitute should have given this assignment. However, just in case you didn't get it or you're reading this after today and you've lost the assignment, here it is.
Besides your usual Google and Wikipedia search habits, for this assignment it would be worth your time to search on Wolfram Alpha.
See you on Wednesday!
Mr. Byrne

1. What office is your candidate running for?
2. Which political party (if any) is your candidate a member of?
3. Where is your candidate from?
3a. Where did your candidate grow-up? Do you think it makes a difference if the candidate is not a native of Maine?
4. What did your candidate do prior to running for office in 2010?
4a. Has your candidate previously held any elected office? If so, what office and for how long?
5. What appears to be the issue that is most important to your candidate?
