I did this back in 2015, and thought it would be fun to bring this back again this year.

What grade would you give them for the job they did. You may change these positions to the  comparable positions in your country.

Your Countries Leader
Your State's Senator (s)
Your Districts Federal Rep.
Your States Governor
Your State's Legislator Rep or Rep (s).
Your States   State District Senator
Your Cities Mayor

Pres. Donald Trump:  B-
Gov. Jerry Brown:  B-
Senator Dianne Feinstein:  D
Senator Kamala Harris:  D-
Representative Anna Eshoo:  D

Using this scale, Ted Cruz and James Lankford would probably be the only A+'s, with other staunchly pro-life R's, pro- or anti-Trump, also being fairly high, and with Pelosi probably being the lowest grade, though there are few congresspeople I particularly dislike as individuals.

Country's leaders - 7 different people
Senator equivalents - 2 people
District representative equivalents - 11 people
Governor equivalent - 7 people
state legislator equivalent - 100 people

Consensus government and proportional representation ftw.

Your Country's Leader: Benjamin Netanyahu, F
Your City's Mayor: Shlomo Bohbot, C-
Minister for the Development of the Negev and the Galilee- Aryeh Deri, F-

Mayor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Bohbot
He's not a very bad mayor and brought some progress, and while the city is still horrible and job-less that's more the fault of our national leaders investing in the settlements and allowing the Galilee to die (literally- even our healthcare is lacking, and the stats back it up). My major issue with him is nepotism and corruption, but that plagues all our municipal authorities.
Minister: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryeh_Deri
I included him because he's supposed to be focusing on the area I live in. Horrible, disgusting scum, pretends to care about poor people but actually just cares about his own power and that of the religious parties. Works to keep his core supporters poor so he can continue exploiting them.

Pres. Mauricio Macri: 5.50/10
"Mayor" Horacio R Larreta 7.50

Argentina is a lot more presidentialist than the US, so I don't know much about most congressmen.
Two of my senators are very well known, Former President Pinedo and Pino Solanas, but I can't tell you much about their 2016 performance, and I've never heard of the third one.
25 Representatives elected by the city at-large
There's only one level below the city government, the comunas, and the elected officials in those are almost irrelevant

My Country's President: Joachim Gauck(Ind.), B+

My Country's Leader: Angela Merkel (CDU), D-

My state's governor: Malu Dreyer (SPD), B

My District's Federal Reps:

directly elected via FPTP:
- Bernhard Kaster (CDU), F

indirectly elected via proportional adjustment:
- Katarina Barley (SPD), A+
- Corina Rüffer (Greens), D-
- Katrin Werner (The Left), C

My District's State Reps:
- Arnold Schmitt (CDU), F
- Ingeborg Sahler-Festel (SPD), C

So the region I live in supports the CDU on a federal and municipal level, but prefers the SPD on a state level. Usually this region is very catholic-conservative, but our state's CDU is pretty crappy. But we'll see if this changes with Schulz.

Rep. Susan Brooks: D
Gov. Eric Holcomb: C
State Rep. Jerry Torr: C
State Sen. Mike Delph: D+

Wow, we live really close (judging from both being in Brooks' district and having bordering State Senators)

President Donald Trump: F (Obvious, total disaster)
Governor Eric Holcomb: C (Pretty moderate and has done a decent job thus far, but hasn't condemed Pence enough)
Senator Joe Donnelly: A (Although he is more center than me, he is a good pragmatic politician)
Sentor Todd Young: D (Total partisan hack, but I'm reserving Fs for Trump level bad)
Representitive Susan Brooks: C (The closest I have as a friend who's a politician, but has not justifiably resisted the Trump administration whatsoever)
Mayor Joe Hogsett: B (A little too centrist for me, but he has done a decent job, I suppose)
Other Mayor Steve Collier: B (Yes, I have too mayors. My house is technically in two cities, but regardless he has done a good job)
State Senator Jim Merritt: C (Ditto for Holcomb)
State Representitve John Bartlett: B (Kinda kooky, but is not a partisan hack and supported Bernie in the primaries)
