This person has a very interesting relationship with their rep. I've never even met my congressmen personally.

Met mine once in Iraq. He gave us all medals that he was unauthorized to give, and the state Congress decided we shouldn't get them so, I have a memento of government stupidity in the form of something I'm unauthorized to wear.

I almost wish my rep was AI tbh. Might be less shitty.
