A member of the House of Representatives represents the people who live in their congressional district. A congressional district is a specific area inside a state. Each state is divided into districts based on population. People who live in each district vote to choose one person to represent them in the House.

The representative speaks and acts for the people in that district. They listen to their concerns, support laws that help their community, and vote on bills in Congress. Their job is to make sure the voices of the people in their district are heard in the federal government.
