member of the House of Representatives

A member of the House of Representatives is an elected official who represents a specific geographic area called a congressional district within a state. They participate in creating and voting on federal laws, serving two-year terms. The number of representatives from each state depends on its population. Their role involves listening to constituents' needs, proposing legislation, and working with other lawmakers to shape national policy. The House is one of the two chambers of Congress, with the other being the Senate, together forming the legislative branch of the U.S. government.
