It should be noted, a person could live in Detroit and be the congressman for this district.. (though it wouldn't make any sense.)  

It should also be noted Roughly a third of those folks who would be represented in the 1st district are in his current district as State Senator.  So claims of "carpet bagging" (as in the other post) might be a little less than completely accurate.  You have seen here where I had hoped he would get some "street cred" again..  In fact I am doing some research of my own.  731 was a mistake.  But his record has been pretty conservative beyond that and a couple of other minor issues.
