Which of the following best fits in the blank?
Members of Congress have a clear advantage over challengers who want to unseat them. Current members are incumbents, candidates for reelection who already hold the office. As such, they have name recognition because the people in the district or state know them. They can use the franking privilege, of free use of the mail, to send out newsletters informing their constituents about their views or asking for input.
