I certainly don't care that much whether the field's name is 'title' or 'type'. :) I don't believe we'd need to distinguish a hypothetical Senate Delegate or House Delegate in only this field, either. The type would be the title they have, and the chamber would serve to distinguish them.

I was merely trying to assert that we don't need to create a new field when the existing field will already do the job.
I stand by my original proposal:
chamber: H
type: rep
chamber: H
type: del
chamber: H
type: (res)com
chamber: S
type: sen
chamber: S
type: del
(Changing "H" to "house" and "S" to "Senate", if you so desire.)

Yep! That looks good. I do desire the "house" and "senate", obviously not a
big deal.
For resident commissioners, I always thought they used "Com." as their
title, but Pierluisi himself uses "Res." in this press release:

Anybody know which it should be?

Well, this is the distinction I was trying to make between type and title: The answer to that question doesn't really matter right now (or, rather, for this issue), as this is merely notation that we will be using to distinguish the positions, which says nothing about what title should be displayed alongside their name.
That's why I'd suggested "rescom" earlier.

Let's make handling this a requirement of solving #26.
