Report your (tentative) white-paper official here
In this post, I provided some ideas as you consider options for which official your white paper will address. Now it is time to set out your (tentative) choice in the comments (though Larysa here has already got us off to a thoughtful start).
As before, you are welcome to explain the reasons for your choice, but it is sufficient if you just state your chosen official. Thanks.
NOTE: You are not forever committed to your indicated selection. That's why I keep saying "tentative" in all these posts. As you begin your research and writing, you are free to change jurisdictions and/or officials. Remember that, as detailed here, everyone will be expected to submit a white paper outline (of at least two pages) by March 14. The development of this outline is when your tentative choices ought to become firm.

My Official: The House and Senate Members of Maryland's General Assembly. I am attempting to identify which committes of Md.'s House and Senate will consider this issue. If I'm able to identify the two specific committees, I may narrow my "official" to those committees only. Overall, I'm still debating narrowing my "official"-scope since repealing the death penalty in Md. will require a vote by the entire General Assembly.

Well, considering I am doing Iran, I guess the most logical choice would be the president/dictator...

oops, wrong place, The Governator of California, or possibly someone lower who might better be influenced as to why they have a huge death row population and such a small numbers of executions, seems like a lottery to get executed.
