In this section of EveryBlock, you’ll find news articles and blog posts from The New York Times that mention your elected representatives. The information comes from Represent, an interactive NYTimes.com feature that organizes news by political boundaries. It's made available through a collaboration with The Times and EveryBlock.

For example, if you live within City Council District 39, we’ll notify you when your councilman is mentioned in The New York Times. This is a nice way of keeping up to date with what your elected officials are doing.
