That sounds good, and surely clearer this way.

When we'd talked about this a couple weeks ago, I was uneasy with the
idea of naming our local US Rep, and you'd suggested some language about
"a majority of the US House including our own Representative".  But now
I think it's even better as you have it now.  Offers voter education,
and gives Tim Johnson the right kind of encouragement if it passes
as seems likely.
