A candidate who is running for the US Senate from Georgia, lives in Texas:
Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker is the beneficiary of a tax break meant for permanent Texas residents—a possible violation of both Texas law and residency rules for voting and political candidacy in Georgia, CNN reported Wednesday.
Records reviewed by the network show Walker benefited from Texas' homestead tax exemption, shaving approximately $1,200 off his 2021 tax bill on his $3 million home in the Dallas-Ft. Worth suburb of Westlake. The Texas Tribune reports the former NFL star is expected to apply for the discount again this year, and would likely save about $1,500.
Reacting to the report, incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock—who will face Walker in a December 6 runoff after neither candidate received 50% of the vote in this month's midterm election—asked on Twitter, "How can Herschel Walker represent Georgians when he doesn't even claim our great state as his primary residence?"
According to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, "only a homeowner's principal residence qualifies" for the break

Well, shades of Josh (Hee-) Hawley! He doesn't live in Missouri; he has a McMansion in Virginia just outside DC. Rep. Jack Bergman, our "representative," lives in Louisiana. It seems (R)s don't care if their representative/senator really lives in their state or not. All that matters is the (R).

None of you had a problem with Hillary Clinton ran and won in NY. Seriously. Just shut up. All of you.

I keep coming back to the question how of all the people in the United States and Georgia, why did Republicans think George Dumbya Bush, Donald Trumpf, and Hershel Walker were the best?

There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.
