Wasn’t there a member awhile back who slept in his office? I guess it wasn’t Jason. Perhaps they should have dorms, if they absolutely have to be there.
I think it is Lying Ryan.. a real charity case.
Congressman Bruce Poliquin sleeps in office. He is single (widower), workaholic and returns to Maine most weekends.
“Wasn’t there a member awhile back who slept in his office? I guess it wasn’t Jason. Perhaps they should have dorms, if they absolutely have to be there.”
That was Jason. He made a big show about it early on in his career. He did it to save money.
“Chaffetz announced at the start of the congressional term, in 2009, that he would be sleeping on a cot in his office, rather than renting a Washington, D.C., apartment. Chaffetz said, “I’m trying to live the example that it doesn’t take big dollars in order to get where we want to go. I can save my family $1,500 a month by sleeping on a cot in my office as opposed to getting a fancy place that’s maybe a little bit more comfortable.” His family will continue to live in Alpine. “We are now $10 trillion in debt. $10 trillion. Those are expenses that have to be paid at some point”, he said. If he can tighten his belt in these tough economic times, Chaffetz said, Congress should be able to as well.”

Dick Armey slept in his office, showered at the House gym.
That would be the Representative from SD. She has slept in her office for her entire time in DC.
She is running for Governor of the State and leaving DC.
As with all of the elected officials in DC from the State of SD, her conservative voting record is graded “F”.
I think that was Jason C. who slept in his office.
Remember that Harry Reid lived at the Ritz Carleton in DC? That plus meals, etc., was probably only about $80-100k/year.
How did he afford that on only $174k income? Hmmm....
I think Kucinich did that, or slept on the floor at a friend's place.
