What does a U.S. Representative do?
Members of Congress are responsible for representing the people of their District in the United States Congress. Part of this responsibility includes drafting and voting on legislation in the U.S. Congress. Representatives decide whether to vote for or against every bill that comes before the full House of Representatives. All bills must pass both House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate before they can go to the President to be signed into law.
In order to produce better legislation, Members spend a lot of time meeting with people who live in the state to talk about what is happening in government and to listen to their suggestions for bills. They also participate in hearings and briefing, and have to work to build support for their position.
