Last Updated: 10/29/09 Total: 304
After looking around for people to follow on twitter I have come to the realization that there aren’t many good places to find people worth following. I also figured that such a list would not only be nice to have for my own personal use, but it would make an absolutely brilliant thing to put up on the blog. So, without further ado, I give you a list of every congressman, senator, and governor I could find on twitter. If you happen to know of any I missed, please leave a comment or send me an email so I can include them.

I’m not going to go hunting for state-level or party officials from all 50 states, but if you know of any feel free to let me know and I’ll put them up. I couldn’t find any one from Idaho, North Dakota, or Rhode Island. If you know of any, please share with the rest of the class.


As far as I’m concerned, if my elected officials have time to Twitter, they’re not working hard enough.
