    I mean… lol. Gen X makes up ~33% of the US House and ~20% of the overall population.

    Meanwhile, Millennials make up 8% of the House and 25% of the population.

      Yeah. But I’d bet most of them were still born in the 1960s…

      Technically Gen X, but effectively boomers.

      The edges of generations are fuzzy.

        It’s evenly distributed.

        • 50 born 1965-1969
        • 49 born 1970-1974
        • 50 born 1975-1979

        Point is, Gen X is PLENTY represented in Congress.
