"Congress has voted each year since former President Obama took office in 2009 to reject the raise – possibly due in part to Democrats’ success in attacking Republicans over the pay increase in their effort to take the House in 2006.
After a decade without a pay raise, a handful of House members are considering accepting an annual automatic wage hike, but most lawmakers are worried about the politics of looking out of touch with voters not making six figures."
Not that they care, it will also be hard for Pelosi and the Democrats to justify a pay increase after re-taking the House when all they have done is to engage in political theater, reverse the 2016 election results, continue to attempt to affect the undermine / overthrow of the President of the United States.
Some House members want pay raise -- while others fear political cost
