There were two friends who were born and raised

in the town of Los Angeles named Leisha and Jeffry.

While in elementary school, the two loved learning 

about the Legislative Branch in school. They loved 

learning about how members of the Legislative Branch 

proposed bills that could eventually become laws. 

There are 435 people who make up the House of 

Representatives and 100 who make up the Senate. The 

friends’ favorite part of this branch, and they both always had 

dreams of becoming a part of the House of Representatives, so 

one day they each decided to run for this position.

A previous member of the House of Representatives, John Dingell, 

served for almost 30 times the usual term. How many years did he 

serve?

How Long is A Term?

President: 4 years

Senate: 6 years

House of Representatives: 2 years

Governor: 4 years

Mayor: 4 years

Leisha and Jeffry proved to be very popular with the 

citizens of the state. We found out that of all the voters 

in California ranging from ages 18-35, 5/8 of those voters

cast their ballot for Leisha or Jeffry. Out of all voters,

3/7 of the votes were for Leisha, and 3/8 of the votes 

were for Jeffry.

 If Leisha got 3/7 of the votes and Jeffry got 3/8 of the votes, 

who got more votes within the state of California, Leisha or 

Jeffry?

Once the voting process was over, the best 

friends found that they both earned a seat 

in the House and were going to become a 

part of the Congress!

Unfortunately once on the House of Representatives Jeffry was 

only able to serve ¾ of the full term, but he still enjoyed every 

moment he had with the branch. Leisha was able to serve her full 

2 years.
