A U.S. Representative is elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, where they help create federal laws that affect the entire country. They represent their district by listening to the concerns of people in their community and speaking on their behalf in Congress. U.S. Representatives vote on national issues like health care, the economy, and national security. They also work on the federal budget to decide how tax dollars are spent. Representatives serve on committees that focus on different areas like education or foreign policy. They are elected for two-year terms and there is no limit to the number of terms they can serve.
