re: Who is your favorite member of Congress and why?

In the Senate, my favorites are Ran Paul and Ted Cruz. In the House, I’m a big fan of my own Congressman, Garret Graves. He doesn’t always vote the way I want him to, but he always seems to make a concerted effort to appear accessible, listen to constituent problems, and explain his actions when questioned on them. I was really wary of him when he first ran, but he’s been as solid as one could reasonably expect on voting record while doing all of the little things expected of a Congressman exceptionally well.
