HOUSE HUNTING

Oil heiress and Congressional 11th District Republican hopeful Lena Epstein isn’t the only one running in one district while living in another (Epstein lives in Bloomfield Township, which is in the 9th Congressional District). Two other MI-11 candidates, Democrat Nancy Skinner and Libertarian Leonard Schwartz live outside the district, which as we noted last month with Epstein, is permitted under the U.S. Constitution. Schwartz lives in the 14th, in Oak Park, while Skinner is currently in the 9th, in her parents’ condo in Bloomfield Hills. She told MIRS (Michigan Information & Research Service) she had moved in to care for her dying father, and was planning to sell the condo, after which she was planning to move to the 11th.
