The U.S. Census Bureau has documented that 113 members of the United States House of Representatives have districts in which the majority of households are headed by unmarried adults. The "unmarried majority" households in these districts consist of a variety of living arrangements, including solo singles, roommates, unmarried partners, single parents, and unmarried relatives sharing a house or apartment. The staff of AASP has analyzed this census data, complied a list of these House members, and created a website page for each of them, including pertinent contact information.
On
April 15th -- income tax deadline day -- we are sending a packet of
information to these members of Congress, asking them to be mindful of the
needs and concerns of the unmarried majority in their districts as they
vote on pending legislation, including and especially reforms to income
taxes, social security tax and benefits, and estate taxes. We will
remind them that the promise of equality applies to everyone regardless
of marital status. You should contact your representative to
share your views too. If you are not sure who your U.S.
Representative is, click here
