Oklahoma’s District One Congressman, John Sullivan, also sleeps in his Congressional office and has for some time. The fact wasn’t made public until a political opponent suggested there was something “undignified” about that kind of frugality. I might add, Sullivan was reelected, his opponent is...who knows where? No one seems to care. http://www.newson6.com/global/story.asp?s=9275085
Many congressmen have done this over the years. Not a big deal.
I’m so glad that Chris Cannon was fired.
Nothing new.
Once he gets to know the other freshman congressmen they’ll work out an apartment share. Tip O’Neal and a few other congress critters used to rent an apartment. It’s been going on at least that long, maybe longer.
Yea I’m glad Cannon lost. And very glad the rat got blown out in the GE, a rat did hold this seat.
Yeah they used to do this a lot. Mark Sanford did it. Surely some do it as a gimmick, or to save money like he said, it’s expensive in DC.
Publicity stunt, or genuine?
Let’s see where he’s sleeping when he runs for re-election in 2 yrs and then where he’s sleeping after his 3rd yr in office should he win. At some point I’d guess he’d opt out of this arrangement and at least find a shared arrangement.
