Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks in the Senate

"Senators! Dellow felegates! It's a clear desa Separatists made a pact witha desa Federation du Trade. In response to this direct threat to the Republic, mesa propose that the Senate give immediately emergency powers to the Supreme Chancellor!"
―Representative Jar Jar Binks[src]

A Junior Representative, or more commonly called simply Representative, was a member of the Galactic Senate of the Republic. While Senators served the interests of an entire world or sector, representatives were chosen to give voice to a minority population or political group from that specific world. Though only senators were allowed to vote or introduce legislation in the Senate, a representative from the senator's world or sector could perform these duties in the senator's stead should they take a leave of absence or be otherwise unavailable. Jar Jar Binks served as a representative for the Gungan people under the tutelage of Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo.[3]
