Serving as a congressman in Washington has become increasingly challenging, marked by longer working hours, stagnant or decreasing compensation, and a rise in personal threats. Despite these demands, the actual influence and authority held by members of Congress appear to be diminishing, contributing to growing dissatisfaction within the role. The combination of heightened stress, safety concerns, and reduced power is making this once sought-after position less attractive to many.
These factors collectively paint a grim picture of the congressional job experience, signaling potential difficulties in attracting and retaining effective lawmakers in the future. The shifting dynamics suggest a need for reevaluation of the conditions under which lawmakers serve to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the legislative branch.
