Stripteaser even excited congressmen? (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

representatives

'congressmen?' is the definition.
('representative' can be a synonym of 'congressman')

'stripteaser even excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'stripteaser'+'even'='stripteasereven'
'stripteasereven' is an anagram of 'REPRESENTATIVES'.

(Other definitions for representatives that I've seen before include "MPs!" , "10 [HOUSE] of these in US" , "Officers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
