congressman's

Capitol Hill member's

Congressman's is the possessive form of congressman, indicating something belonging to or associated with a male member of Congress: the congressman's voting record, the congressman's district office.

The word reflects older usage when Congress was almost entirely male; congressperson's or representative's serves as a gender-neutral alternative.
