It looks from the article text as if he would have been up for re-election in 2011. Was he re-elected? 169.253.194.1 ( talk) 23:12, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
OK, but... Which House? The Utah State House? The Federal one? When was this? 68.39.174.238 03:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Why would you write a Wikepedia page about yourself?

This article used to be titled " Ralph Becker (Utah)" but was changed to "Ralph Elihu Becker Jr." in May 2009. The comment at the time was "If the name is unique, doesn't it make more sense to call the person by his own name? Following pattern of Jon Huntsman."
The Manual of Style says "the article title should generally be the name by which the subject is most commonly known". I have never heard the Salt Lake City mayor referred to as "Ralph Elihu Becker Jr.", so I suspect it's not "the name by which [he] is most commonly known". He is almost always called "Ralph Becker" [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. His father seems to have been known as "Ralph Becker" [6] [7] or "Ralph E. Becker" [8] [9] [10].
I suggest changes to both article titles:
