GOP Senator Thad Cochran Is Facing Residency Questions In Competitive Primary ~ Samantha Lachman
This morning I’m going to pretend that Lachman is an AP writer and that Handshoe, as editor of Slabbed adds to one sentence that adds the nuance and color (in bold):
Breitbart, a conservative news site, reported Sunday that Cochran listed an Alexandria, Va., home he sold in 2003 as his address on Federal Election Commission statement of candidacy in 2002, and listed a Capitol Hill apartment as his address in 2008.
Cochran’s campaign said he rents the Capitol Hill apartment from his executive assistant, who is often seen in public with the Senator and who in the past has been misidentified by the media as Cochran’s wife, Rose, who is chronically ill. That address was included on his statement of candidacy filed in May 2013, which was changed last week to an Oxford, Miss. home he owns.
Some documents show Cochran designated his Mississippi house as a second home, with the Capitol Hill apartment as his “present address” on others.
Seems to me there is a lot of tap dancing on this issue.
