The Politics and Government Work Group - United States is a working group of members of the Biography WikiProject dedicated to ensuring quality and coverage of biography articles.
Since biographies are potentially under the purview of almost all WikiProjects, it is important that we work in tandem with these projects. Also, when seeking collaboration on articles, don't neglect to approach WikiProjects that are part of the geographical region your subject is/was in.
Increase the exposure of our work group by nominating our articles for their Portal FA and DYKs. Of course, don't forget the main portal, Politics

Directions for expanding any division below
The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize your state, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for your state insert this: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you (see Virginia) and then you can edit it to conform to your area.
A good place to look for requested articles for your area is the Missing articles project for politicians and look for the pages that have your state and include links to them in your Announcements area.
