Another good source of information is your local state University, especially law schools in your state. One of the oldest in the nation is the Yale University (private) law library: http://library.law.yale.edu/.
If you go to your local law school, the friendly librarian there may be able to set you up with a free temporary access account with LexisNexis, the firm which maintains the national database of laws and court judgments. You may also be able to obtain some access from your own computer at home. Their home page is at www.lexisnexis.com and you can try to contact them at http://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/products/lexis-advance.page

DC is unique, because it is not a state, so it has no governor, and no legislature per se. If you live here, start with this site and research extensively: http://dccouncil.us/legislation

South Florida is more populous, and tends to be very conservative, with many wealthy retirees and even many of the Hispanics, being conservative.
