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

[Fredric Woocher]

I believe at least two California Congressmen -- Garamendi and
McClintock -- do not live in their congressional districts.  In
Garamendi's case, the District line goes through his ranchette, but his
residence is actually on the "other" side of the line.

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


Can anyone give me an example of any individual successfully winning a
seat in Congress yet not living within that district?  In the
alternative, does anyone have examples of individuals running for
Congress while living outside of it borders?

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.
