Congressional Art Competition

Every spring the US House of Representatives sponsors an art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in congressional districts across the nation.

District 1 Representative Ann Kirkpatrick invites high school students in the district to participate. A panel of judges will choose the winner and that student’s artwork will be displayed in the US Capitol for one year along with other winners nationwide. Work by runners-up will be displayed in Kirpatrick’s Washington, DC and district offices.

Entries are limited to two pieces per school. Mail submissions to Ann Kirkpatrick’s Casa Grande District Office no later than April 15.

Kirkpatrick to Run for Congress Again

Former Arizona District 1 Representative Ann Kirkpatrick says she plans to run for Congress again in 2012. Kirkpatrick lost to Republican Paul Gosar last year.

She told the Arizona Republic that she hopes the 2012 political climate will be more hospitable to her candidacy because it is a presidential year and will probably have a bigger voter turnout.

Arizona’s congressional districts will be redrawn this year to accommodate an additional House seat that the state is getting because of its population growth. This could significantly change the 1st Congressional district. But since Kirkpatrick and Gosar are both from Flagstaff, they’ll most likely be in the same district.

Kirkpatrick Staff Office Hours Postponed
