· Political party
structure/make-up
· Types of
primaries
· State party
organizations
· State government
structure

of a state candidate/incumbent
· Make-up of your
state legislature (i.e., gender, age, profession)
· Apportioning and
districting information
· Legislative
institutionalization of your state
· Party issues in
your state
You may include additional information you feel is relevant, but do not
create more than 14 slides. You must also include at least three graphics (i.e. picture, map, graph, etc.). You may use
one of each type of graphic or the same type of graphic, but your presentation should have at least three graphics. In
addition to the 10-14 slides, you must include a title slide and a reference slide. Use your creativity, and organize the
material in a logical and understandable manner.
