But here is what I did not know (and did not include in the LBN story)

Dan Feehan, a 34-year-old Army veteran who served as a Defense Department official in the Obama administration, is preparing to run in the Minnesota district where he grew up—even though he hasn’t lived there since he was 14. Mr. Feehan, his wife and two children still live in Washington and are house-hunting in Mankato, Minn.

Though the sprawling 21-county district is held by a Democrat, Rep. Tim Walz, Mr. Trump won it by 15 percentage points in November. Mr. Walz is vacating the seat to run for governor.
