Census 2010

In March, the 2010 Census will begin arriving in mailboxes around the 19th Congressional District. This year the census questionnaire is one of the shortest forms in history, asking only 10 questions. I encourage you to take 10 minutes to fill out this form when you receive it. Any information you provide is private and will not be shared with any other government agency.

The 2010 Census is a part of our community’s voice in government. Not only is the census a constitutional responsibility, but the response also determines how you are represented in both Congress and the state legislature. We need everybody to be counted. Especially in rural areas, if you’re not counted, your vote may not count in the next election.

If you would like more information, I encourage you to visit the new Census section on my website or contact my office by calling toll free at (888) 763-1611.
