Definition
The supposedly valued voters that politicians remember exist approximately every two to six years, depending on election cycles. While technically defined as residents represented by an elected official, these folks are treated like beloved family during campaign season and distant acquaintances the rest of the time. Politicians suddenly develop excellent listening skills and deep concern for constituent needs when poll numbers drop.
Example Usage
The senator returned to meet with constituents after her approval rating plummeted to 32%.
