This woman (?) beat out a long standing incumbent. One might wonder what was wrong with the other guy.

according to smart asset the average rent for a two bedroom apt in nyc is $1638 a month; but that includes the suburbs. in manhattan that same apt would be $3895 a month. in dc that two bedroom apt would be $2776. although, a studio apt would be $1641. so the question is...what was she paying in nyc? what is she expecting to rent in dc? and has she considered renting in alexandria va or silver spring md? or even just commuting from nyc on the train?

I'm not completely sure but I think I heard she stayed at home through as much college as possible then immediately after graduation (when her dad passed) had to help her mom right away because the deceased's estate was tied up through red tape (NY )for so long.
Also moving is a big deal nowadays.
It would be for me even 300 miles away nearer the coast where we were thinking about a while back. (There's a VA Med Center and spouse was having so many treatments & procedures over there that Boise couldn't handle.)

I get your point but last I was in Virginia for a lengthy stay was in the 80s and our rent was over $1200.00 per month back then for a modest townhouse in a -looked like apartments to me-grove of townhouses. That was Manassas where a lot of govt employees did live including Dan Quale. Though of course, he was in better digs his wife bringing in the bigger pocketbook.

And I don't put anyone down for inheriting or earning money, it just shows these people who run our country -ALL of them -are very wealthy with a few exceptions.
You have to ask yourself why would they give up lucrative law and medical practices etc to take the comparatively meager salary of a congressman?
And how do we change the system so that more folks who look more like you and me-again from both sides of the aisle-can serve our country?

I lived in Triangle VA for a year, which is just outside of Quantico, during Desert Storm. Rent for a two bedroom one bath apartment was $400.00 if I remember correctly. 30 minutes to DC.

You want to fix the millionaires in government problem? Start with term limits, remove lifetime bennies, cap pay at average income for the constituents represented, make them pay into SS and MCare, and have full background checks prior to being accepted into the position they were elected for.
