Legislators have to think about so many issues that no one science specialty could prepare them. What does it matter if some legislator has a PhD from Podunk University and wrote their dissertation on the mating habits of red-billed geese? If intelligence is the criterion let's just say that. AOC was a waitress before she was a representative, if we're talking about diverse backgrounds.

In contrast people from non-STEM fields, and in particular lawyers, are more interested in activity than results.
