I disagree. These types of votes is precisely why you vote for representatives. It not different that your representative in the House of Representatives, Senate, State Legislators, Board of Supervisors, City Councils, etc. They are there to vote on issues that effect all their constituents every time they cast a vote. This is why its extremely important to do your civic duty to make yourself informed, tell your representative how you feel, and vote for people that feel the most like you do on the important issues to you. But when it comes down to it, the representatives should always vote what they feel is best regardless of how their constituents feel. And if the constituents don't like the way their representative voted then they can recall them or vote someone else when their re-election comes around. This is why I said it was politically courageous. It is not narcissistic. In fact, many of the people who voted for this were going to be negatively affected by it anyways.
