I see he’s doing that since Harrisburg is in both districts. However, I can’t see him being allowed to do so, since most states frown upon filing for multiple federal offices at the same time and will have to choose one or the other (neither of which has a chance of electing him).

Actually, truth be told, I hope someday we whittle down the fedgov to the point that legislating becomes a part time job with most of that time spent telecommuting from home. Trips to DC would be few.

I remember an American History teacher opining once that the Founding Fathers probably chose the location of Washington DC to encourage that. At the time, it was a low-lying, swampy area that was miserably hot in the summer with lots of mosquitoes and black flies. Who'd want to stick around all year long?

Unfortunately, we improved insect control and invented air conditioning.
