Usage Note
Congresista is common gender — el congresista / la congresista — so the article, not the ending, signals the sex of the referent. It is used both in Spain (for members of the Congreso de los Diputados) and in Latin America (for members of any congreso). In US-context reporting it translates English 'congressperson'.
Examples
"La congresista presentó un nuevo proyecto de ley."
Natural Translation
The congresswoman introduced a new bill.
