A congressional seat has been vacant for over 130 days. This vacancy affects a large number of people, nearly 800,000, who currently have no representation in Congress. The seat was left open after a resignation last spring.

The situation is notable due to a current issue in the area, a border security construction project. Nearby residents are without a voice in the US House to express their opinions on the matter.

Further details about the vacancy and its impact are available, including the circumstances surrounding the resignation and the potential timeline for filling the seat.
