The House has a large and diverse population and each member is always trying to represent their district to ensure reelection. The geographical constituency is the complete population of voters and nonvoters in a House member’s district. It is the largest of all the constituencies and maybe the constituency that the member owes their election and reelection to. In fact when talking asking a member of house what sort of district they come from they will most likely give a geographical answer like” the largest district in the state.” Then after the initial geographical response the member will continue with their mental image of their district by describing things like religion end other prominent patterns. Members of the House know very well where in the district they run well and which groups support them. By distinguishing these groups the congressman or woman can begin their “fundamental political perception”. (P163.3rd para.) This perception is referred to the reelection constituency. This in essence is anyone that the congressman believes votes for him during elections. He also thinks about this constituency in terms of votes they believe they always get and votes that they believe to never get. The votes that one always receives have a heavy partisan aid in them. The primary constituencies are the strongest supporters. This constituency is technically located inside the reelection constituency. The personal constituencies are the member’s closest confidents; people who are more than simply strong supporters. These can be more than simple colleagues and are likely people with the member of the house relies on heavily emotionally. All of these inner circles of people have shared crucial experiences in the congressman’s career, most likely to be early elections. All of these people the congressmen knows personally and thinks of them as friends. Some say politicians are carried and kept at their position by their friends.
