I am drafting a letter to my U.S. Representative who happens to be female.
What is the politically correct terminology? Honorable? Or Congressman? Congresswoman?

Congresswoman is fine. Honorable would also be acceptable.
Usually it is Congresswoman if you're referring directly to her but Congressman if it is a group of mixed-genders.
You could always use "Lying-Theiving-Son-of-a-B" for the most appropriate term, but thats just me.

Congresswoman or the non-gender Representative.

You would usually use...
"Her Honorable Congresswoman (Name of the person )"

Most people these days (news for example)
just refer to them as "Representative".
