About this office
A United States Representative represents a single congressional district in the lower chamber of Congress, serving a two-year term. Representatives write and pass federal law, originate revenue bills, fund and oversee the executive branch, and serve constituents in dealings with federal agencies.
Term length: 2 years.
This role calls for
- Legislative craft at the federal level: reading, drafting, and amending federal statute, and knowing the law being changed.
- Understanding of the district's economic and everyday concerns, and constituent-service capacity for casework with federal agencies.
- Persuasion and coalition-building across party and factional lines to form working majorities.
- Integrity: acting for constituents and the public good rather than personal gain, independent of undue influence.
- Oversight judgment: the House funds and oversees the executive branch and the military.
