You can run for Congress whether or not you live in the district.

If you want, you can run for a Congressional seat in Maine. There is no constitutional requirement that the Member of Congress live in their own district.

However, I just don't believe anyone will vote for someone who not only doesn't live in their own congressional district, but ran a campaign to represent the congressional district next door.

The idea here isn't to shop around until you get elected to one.
