Without representation, we simply shouldn’t pay taxes.
Right?

It sounds like their opponents should easily be able to trounce them in an election. If you don't like your current reps, you may want to tip the other campaign (or internal challengers in the primaries) on this.
If you otherwise like your current reps, I'm sorry.

You assume it's a place where there are competitive elections which compete on satisfying the voters. In many places, it's not the case - it's either uni-party location where whoever the party appoints wins, or a location where the competition is between different groups of special-interest players that couldn't care less about the voters that do not align with them. If you find yourself in that environment - nobody is trouncing anything, however incompetent the actual management of affairs becomes. People stay in their positions until they either die or decide to move on by their own volition.
That way you get a response (thank you for completing the form) and then zero way to track the communication. In my case, I have never received anything after that from any of my representatives.
You can't call to check on it, because, again, they're no longer taking phone calls. And even if they did, you have no reference number.
They took advantage of the pandemic to just completely cut ties with their constituents outside of THEIR approved avenues.
Super cool. Very representative.
