The answer is Delegate

A member of Congress can interpret the job of representative in two different ways: as a delegate, acting on the express preferences of constituents; or as a trustee, more loosely tied to constituents and empowered to make decisions the member of Congress thinks best.

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day! :-)
