assemblyman
Lower chamber member
An assemblyman is a member of a legislative assembly, particularly a state legislature in the United States.
The term typically refers to representatives in the lower house of a bicameral state legislature: The assemblyman from our district voted against the bill.
The feminine form assemblywoman exists, though assemblymember serves as a gender-neutral alternative.
