The congressman that I think I am most like is Niki Tsongas. I think we are similar because we both agree on a few important issues. One of these issues is Global warming. She has been doing so much to help getting people to start to use less of substances like gasoline. This helps a lot of things, first it drops the price of it, plus you help the earth's atmosphere. She and I also agree on the topic of school. She supports the No Child Left Behind act.
