state reps
Local assembly members
State reps are elected members of a state legislature, specifically the lower house in states with bicameral systems.
Short for state representatives, the term distinguishes these officials from federal representatives in Congress: My state rep actually responds to emails.
The informal abbreviation appears in news coverage and casual political discussion.
