Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A congressional district represents a specific geographic area and the interests of the constituents within that area. If a congressman or congresswoman focuses solely on the needs and desires of their district, to the detriment of larger national issues, they could be considered a special interest group. Additionally, if the district has a particular economic, social or political interest, their representative may be viewed as a special interest group as well.
