Given the data you have reviewed on Representatives Larson's and Bernal's districts, imagine you are an analyst responsible for formulating policy recommendations for each Legislator to work on for their respective constituencies.

First, make a brief narrative profile for each district using at least five of the metrics you were asked to collect (or you may elect to include others that were included in the profile but not included in the activity).

Explain your justification for recommending these two issues using the data.
