Who has represented you in Congress?

My senators have included William Saxbe, John Glenn, Howard Metzenbaum, Chuck Robb, John Warner, Jim Webb, Tim Kaine, Mark Warner… The ones I can remember offhand without looking it up.

In one fictional history, the state of Saskatchewan was represented by Senator John Diefenbaker.

Fictional, but the original leader of Alexandria, Congresswoman Deanna Monroe from season 5 of Walking Dead, was from my district.

Off the top of my head:

*U.S. Senate
*John Glenn (I still regret never meeting him - a true American hero)
Howard Metzenbaum
George Voinovich
Mike DeWine
Rob Portman
Sherrod Brown (hope he runs for President - other than trade policy, I agree with him on most issues; I’ve also met him and he’s a great guy)

*U.S. House
*Doug Applegate (I was an intern for him one summer right out of college)
Bob Ney
Jim Traficant (a buffoon, a rabble-rouser and a criminal)
Stephanie Tubbs Jones (who earlier hired me as a prosecutor, before she went to Capitol Hill)
Marcia Fudge

I’m sure there’ve been others.

Just the highlights.

I was represented, for about a week after my 18th birthday, by former Olympic medalist Ralph Metcalfe. Then he died…I promise I had nothing to do with it.

A term or two later I was represented by Harold Washington, who is best known for his later accomplishments.

For many years I was represented by Hamilton Fish, Jr. He is with one or two exceptions the last republican I ever voted for, for a major office at least.

After that there was a forgettable Republican, Sue Kelly, and then I was redistricted into Maurice Hinchey’s district. I liked him a lot.

Then Nan Hayworth, a pretend moderate whom I didn’t like, and now Sean Patrick Maloney, whom I do.

Senators include Gillibrand, Schumer, Clinton, d’Amato, Moynihan, and Chuck Percy.

I lived in Nancy Pelosi’s district for most of the time I was in San Francisco, but our current house is in that roughly 1/4 of the city (along with most of the peninsula) that is represented by Jackie Speier.

I am represented by the California Senators, currently Diane Feinstein, and Kamala Harris, who took over from Barbara Boxer.
