OP
I think he's still teaching at the U law school, so he probably lives in the TC.

Also really looking forward to see how his concern for watersheds goes over in farm country.

But the northern edge of the district isn't too far to commute. I don't know if reps are required to live in their districts but they certainly should.

Jason Lewis didn't live in the 2nd when he "represented" it.

NOT a "centrist" either. He will end up voting with GQP 80+% of the time. If you think Manchin is a problem, this guy is worse.
