Friday trivia
There is no legal requirement that a member of Congress live in the district they represent. Currently, Rep. Ben McAdams lives outside of the 4th Congressional District, but he’s not the first Utahn to do so.
Who was the first Utah member of Congress not to live inside the district they represented in Washington?
