Congressmen are experts at getting people to vote for them. The problem is that the people who step up to the challenge of winning this popularity contest aren't necessarily most qualified to be calling the shots.

I'd like to see more STEM workers in general running for office. They'd certainly pique my interest more than yet another lawyer.
