A Congressperson will want to be on a Committee that directly affects the citizens in their district.
Take for instance my representative, Chellie Pingree. Rep. Pingree represents the 1st Congressional District in Maine, which has a lot of lobsterman, farmers, and the big city of Portland that is trying to attract jobs.
Rep. Pingree will want to be on Committees that deal with marine and agriculture issues and also with economic development issues. She will want to be able to advocate and represent her constituents on the issues that face them and the best way to do that is on committees that deal with issues that face citizens in the 1st district in Maine.
A representative for Brooklyn, despite loving food, might not want to be on the agricultural committee as it wouldn't benefit their citizens and they would not be able to effectively represent their constituents.

Explanation:
The Causes of the American Revolutionary War! In a nutshell the British wanted to make as much money as possible out of the 13 Colonies. Great Britain was the 'mother country' - refer to Colonialism. Many of the colonists came from Great Britain, they shared the same ideals and the same king. The British had the power to enact various laws in Parliament outside of America which significantly effected life and trade in the 13 colonies. But the British Laws were used like a 'one-way street' - the Acts of Parliament benefited the British but not the colonies and, to compound this, the Americans were not afforded the same rights as the British people, nor did they have any representatives in the British Parliament to present their points of view. The colonists protested and their protests led them down the American Road to Revolution and were responsible for some of the Causes of the American Revolutionary War.
