I submitted my site to the tax negotiation and representation area. When it did not get listed, I wrote an e-mail to the editor of that section and explained how my suggested website fit the criteria listed by the editor. I did not receive any response from the editor. Any suggestions about how to best proceed now?

You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.
Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.
We discourage editors from responding to anxious website owners because the ensuing conversations all too often end badly. Threats of physical violence are not unknown and there have been incidents of real life stalking - all of which are somewhat distracting from editing.
