Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. Because it is not a state, it has no senators and its representative in the House of Representatives is a delegate, called the Resident Commissioner, with limited voting privileges. Delegates have a marginalized role in Congress and their constituents are not represented in Congress in the same manner as most citizens.

Puerto Rico’s one representative, called an “at-large” representative because they represent the entire area, is:

Jenniffer González-Colón
At Large

Jenniffer González-Colón
