U.S. House of Representatives: Who are the current members?

A J.F. Kennedy’s message to the Congress

Current Members of the U.S. House of Representatives


Republicans currently have control of both the White House and Congress, and most of the cabinet haven’t been in government before. Many Americans think that’s a good thing, while many others are extremely concerned.

And too many in Congress have shown little to no interest in protecting consumer interests. They seem to have lost sight of why they are in office in the first place: to serve the American people.

In the House, Democrats need 24 seats to take back the chamber in 2018. That deficit could fall to 23 if Democrats win a special election in Georgia. The vote to fill the suburban Atlanta seat vacated by Tom Price, the new health secretary, takes place on April 18.

On March 15, 1962, John F. Kennedy sent a special message to the Congress on protecting the consumer interest:

I suggest you read the Message in its entirety, but the following sentence in Kennedy’s message seemed particularly prescient:

“Nearly all of the programs offered by this Administration–e.g., the expansion of world trade, the improvement of medical care, the reduction of passenger taxes, the strengthening of mass transit, the development of conservation and recreation areas and low-cost power–are of direct or inherent importance to consumers. Additional legislative and administrative action is required, however, if the Federal Government is to meet its responsibility to consumers in the exercise of their rights. These rights include…The right to be heard—to be assured that consumer interests will receive full and sympathetic consideration in the formulation of Government policy, and fair and expeditious treatment in its administrative tribunals.”

While reading Kennedy’s message to Congress, the question that kept popping up in my head was: How much does the average American know about the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives?

The 435 U.S. House of Representatives, along with the 100 who serve in the Senate, composes the legislature of the United States.

House Members serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even year.

The 2016 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 8, 2016, and since they serve two-year terms, all 435 will be considered for reelection in 2018.

A member of the House is referred to as a Representative, Congressman, or Congresswoman.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives each represent a portion of their state known as a Congressional District, which averages 700,000 people. Senators, however, represent the entire state.

Under Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution, in the House of Representatives, a state’s representation is based on its population as measured by the U.S. Census.

Each state, however, is entitled to at least one Representative. For example, smaller states like Vermont and Delaware have one representative while large states like California have 53 representatives.

The Constitution does not provide for the representation of the District of Columbia or the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Marina Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, although each is represented by one non-voting delegate. They have a voice on the floor but have no voting power.

The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation, otherwise known as bills, which, after concurrence by the Senate, are sent to the President for consideration.

The House also has the exclusive power to initiate bills for raising revenue, to impeach officials, and to choose the President in the event that a presidential candidate fails to get a majority of the Electoral College votes.

The House of Representatives is informally referred to as the “lower” house, while the Senate is referred to as the “upper” house.

The party with the majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party.

In the House of Representatives, the majority party holds significant power to draft chamber rules and schedule bills to reach the floor for debate and voting.

In most cases, House rules will limit debate so that important legislation can be passed during one legislative business day.

To run for House of Representatives, he or she must be at least 25 years of age, have been a citizen of the United States for at least 7 years, and at the time of the election is a resident of the state they represent.   Members are not required to live in the district they represent, but they traditionally do.

Of the current 435 members of the House, one is an independent, 240 are Republicans, and 194 are Democrats.

Twenty percent (87) of the 435 members of the House are women: 83 are voting members, and 4 are non-voting members. Of the 87 women in the House, 64 are Democrats, and 23 are Republicans.

The average annual salary for each Representative as of December 2014 was $174,000.

The two youngest members of the House are 33 years old: New York, District 21, Democrat Elis Stefanik, and Wisconsin, District 8, Republican Mike Gallagher.

The two oldest members of the House are 88 years old: Michigan, District 13, Democrat John Conyers, and New York, District 25, Democrat Louise Slaughter.

The Speaker of the House earns $223,500, and the Majority and Minority Leaders earn $193,400.

Representative Darrell Issa, the California Republican, maintained top net worth billing with an average net worth of $245.65 million.

It seems only fitting to end this article with the last paragraph of John F. Kennedy’s message to Congress:

“It is my hope that this Message, and the recommendations and requests it contains, can help alert every agency and branch of government to the needs of our consumers. Their voice is not always as loudly heard in Washington as the voices of smaller and better-organized groups–nor is their point of view always defined and presented. But under our economic as well as our political form of democracy, we share an obligation to protect the common interest in every decision we make. I ask the Congress, and every Department and Agency, to help in the fulfillment of that obligation.”
