Has any current US Senator or House Representative said the N-word? If not, will someone before 2028?
There must be credible evidence showing they used the word "nigger", either in speech or writing. A person can count even if it's been many years, or if they do not endorse using the word today. Can count even if they were only using the word in reference to the word itself.

Maxine Waters quotes people calling her the n word in a press release here: https://waters.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/additional-white-supremacists-convicted-threatening-kill-rep-maxine
“I realized that to him and so many others I am and always may be a Nigger: guilty till proven innocent.” -Cory Booker, "Why Have I Lost Control?" 1992, https://stanforddaily.com/2013/01/23/cory-booker-why-have-i-lost-control/
@ForrestTaylor Sorry for the long delay. Thank you for the references, I double-checked Outsider in the White House and it does show him using the word. I also see in the Cory Booker article it uses it.
For Maxine Waters, I'm torn. The reference quotes other people using the word, and I see it's in connection to her, but it seems much more distant. By that I mean, it reads more like a webpage that happens to be about her, rather than her using the term (even quoted). Thoughts?
@Jotto999 Well, it's her own website, and I think that a press release from someone counts as them saying something. Fair enough regarding quotations tho
For a hundred years, the white workers of the South were the most exploited white workers in America. They were paid the lowest wages, they endured the worst working conditions, their housing was abysmal, their kids went to the most backward schools, and very few could send their children to college. But what did they have? They were given ‘niggers’ to hate and look down on, ‘niggers’ who couldn’t vote, drink at their water fountains, use the same bathrooms, or sit up front in the buses or movie theaters.
