My congressman lives 7 1/2 hours away!

I can't believe here in southern Oregon my new congressman is so far away. He is closer 45 min to Boise, living near border of Idaho, no wonder he is such a raving Trumper.

He lives in Ontario, Oregon, for us over in Medford thats like a state away, I can drive to Portland and pass many other congress people in 4 1/2 hrs or visit my daughter in the bay area CA in 5 1/2 hrs.

I guess I should be lucky he is far away. But let's just say I don't feel represented at all!

in another state but kept a chair at his sisters house in my state. My congressman had an address at a UPS building and/or at another location, a laundry place I think. He actually had a real address in Alaska. They are both gone now replaced by perhaps worse people but the at least live in the state. *not that that is good or meaningful just proper
