Represent interweaves the stories of three women on both sides of the political aisle who share the singular goal of improving their community through public service. Myya attempts to spark a youth movement and unseat the incumbent mayor of Detroit. Byrn, a farmer working with her mother in Granville runs for township trustee, but in doing so is places in opposition with the only other woman in the office. Julie walks a tightrope between her identities as a Korean immigrant and Republican candidate for State Representative in a liberal Chicago suburb. Through the nuances of local politics, we see the system failings and unsung heroes at the heart of America's smallest elections.
