Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a U.S.

territory with its own constitution and elected local government. Its civic life reflects Spanish, Taíno, African, Caribbean, and American influences, as well as public questions about political status, disaster recovery, migration, energy, health care, culture, and economic development. Residents participate in local government while the island’s relationship with the federal government shapes representation and public authority. Puerto Rico’s delegation to Congress, its state government, and the official records behind both are covered in the sections that follow.
