They only represent a small percentage of Americans (between 550 and 950 thousand), and an even smaller number of those vote (between 125 and 400 thousand) in elections, meaning their issue bases are more localized, less polarizing, and many Representatives are in safe seats, eliminating a real need to campaign heavily outside of primaries anyways.
There's 435 Representatives, and maybe 20% of them will serve in any higher office such as Governor, Senator, Cabinet, etc.
TL;DR: Too many Representatives, too little exposure.
