Your vote MATTERS! Many voters in the Kansas City area will find themselves in a new congressional district. Meet the candidates seeking to represent you. Each U.S. representative is elected to a two-year term serving the people of a specific congressional district. Representatives introduce bills and resolutions, offer amendments and serve on committees. The House has several powers assigned exclusively to it, including the power to initiate revenue bills, impeach federal officials, and elect the President in the case of an electoral college tie.
