Dumb, but she has no chance -- nm - Amoxy Jul 20, 10:44
Vote Jeff Johnson, the name you know. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:13
Interesting. What are your thoughts on the matter? -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 10:10 11
- Given my previous thoughts on candidates running for office not living in the area they're wanting to represent (i.e. Jon Ossoff) - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:15 9
  - The Ossoff one was a dumb criticism since he lived adjacent to it and had most recently lived within it - Reagen Jul 20, 11:19 1
    - It was less bad than this case, but still an issue IMO. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 12:46

    - With CDs, there's a good reason not to require it since you could easily be maliciously redistricted out of one. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 11:20
  - It seems like it shouldn't be legal, but on the other hand "I will relocate if hired" is common and not unethical. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:18 3
    - I could almost accept that, but the article didn't even imply she would do that. - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:20 2
      - oh, huh, I assumed "resident when elected" also meant after too. To me I think the job where that's most important is police officers. -- nm* - Max Jul 20, 10:32
      - She probably doesn't expect to win, rather she is running to highlight an issue. -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 10:22
  - Thanks for clarifying. - znufrii Jul 20, 10:16
- Oh brother -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 10:12

I think it's smart of Alaska to try importing politicians after the whatshername fiasco. -- nm - David Jul 20, 10:07
"'Don't lock me out just because I'm not a homeboy,' she said." -- nm - Ender Jul 20, 10:07 2
- Which is far from the most boneheaded thing a candidate has ever said. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 10:23
- She also promised to bring back those Blockbuster jobs. -- nm - Qale Jul 20, 10:21
