[EL] winning in Congress but not living in the district

[Dan Meek]

Lyndon Johnson won the 1937 special election for the 10th District of 
Texas.  He was not living there and, I believe, never had lived there.

To the best of my knowledge I cannot find an example dating all the way 
back to 1842 when Congress mandated single-member districts for Congress.

Thank you.
