public class Rep

extends Individual

Reps come from the Candidate that wins an election. All the internal parts are initialized to be the same as the candidates. If this is a new Rep, the name is changed. Reps have the methods, tagAdapt and BillVote. Since Reps are self-interested, and wish for everyone to join their party, they alter the tags of the other representatives. Reps consider the proposed bill versus the statusquo, and vote for the closest position. They also keep track of their most recent tag.
