Carl D. Perkins (Kentucky, Democrat, 20th century)
Ed Pastor (Arizona, Democrat, 21st century)

Senator, it's my fault for not updating the spreadsheet as soon as I should have-- but Ed Pastor is already taken. Have you got a different pick for your 21st century selection.

Okay-- it's time to start our sixteenth and final round. As always, our Google doc is at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10z5XiwpLLLnnMLnUP3U0QKKJmoOJ4oEjEho6CGrzHLs/edit#gid=0.

For this final round, make one pick from the 18th/19th, 20th, and 21st centuries as usual. You should then have one state left (there's 49 in this game, since, as you may remember, Alaska and Hawaii are joined together for the purposes of this exercise.). This final pick for your last state can be a congressperson from any time period you choose.

My last picks are:

Owen Lovejoy (Illinois, Republican, 19th century)
John Danforth (Missouri, Republican, 20th century)
Katie Porter (California, Democrat, 21st century)

and finally, Mickey Leland (Texas, Democrat, 20th century).

Bob Wise (West Virginia, Democrat, 20th century)
Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota, Democrat, 21st century)

Jacob Javits (New York, Republican, 20th century)

[Joseph Cao]

The final round:

Jeremiah Haralson (R-AL), 19th century
Silvio Conte (R-MA), 20th century
Vern Ehlers (R-MI), 21st century

And for the last state, I pick James Buckley (C-NY) of the 20th century.


Incidentally, and this doesn't need to count, I left Massachusetts for the last round not only because so many of you made your picks relatively early, but also because I couldn't decide between two of my final choices. The pick I would have most liked to make if we were allowed more than one person in each category is Leverett Saltonstall (R-MA).

Seventeenth round pick:
21st century - John Carney (Democratic, Delaware)

I’ll fill out the spreadsheet soon- but let me say- thank you to everyone who participated. This was fun and required decidedly more strategy than I thought to get a Congress I was happy with. An extra thank you to Battista, Kuumo, Elcaspar, and Joseph Cao for hanging on to the bitter end with me.
