However, you claimed that OP would probably not want to run because of the compensation, as in, they wouldn’t be able to afford living there on that salary. $174k is plenty to live in DC (as you pointed out, it’s kind 50% higher than the median income), so in terms of being able to live and work there, the income is plenty. It may not be enough to discourage corruption among other members of Congress, but that’s not necessarily a concern here (OP didn’t seem to be worried about becoming corrupted).
Compensation is set by Congress, so if OP found compensation issues leading to corruption, OP could be part of that solution.
