Who does a member of the House of Representatives represent?

The people in their congressional district.

  1. Everyone in the whole state
  2. People in their congressional district ✔
  3. Only people who voted for them

Why: Each representative serves one congressional district. Senators represent the whole state. Representatives serve everyone in the district, not just their voters.

Huh, didn't know that: Washington, D.C. and the U.S. territories send non-voting delegates to the House.

The dad joke
Why did the map feel so organized? It was divided into districts.
