I didn't leave them there. I constantly voted against all Republican challengers. It wasn't until they Gerrymandered the district (Mike McIntyre's) that I was, for a time, suddenly in the 3rd district being represented by Walter B Jones. Then I moved back into the 7th but by then it was a definite Rouser district because gerrymandering.

Here in Pennsylvania, the state supreme court redrew our districts and they've stood court challenges.


I moved from the 11th district to the 10th district by just moving across town.
