Represent constituents

How does an elected official represent constituents well?
* Makes known his views before the election and don't radically change them. After all, the election is the most widespread poll.
* Make decisions based on feedback. If most feedback is for one thing, should he always do that? Even when there is a ton of feedback, that is much less than the number of people who voted so how much weight should be given to feedback?
