Silicon Valley lawmaker running for Congress doesn't live in his district - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

Assemblymember Evan Low's residency outside his legislative district has sparked questions about his dedication to the constituents he was elected to serve, especially as he runs for Congress. Low's move to Campbell and lack of clarity on the duration of his residence there have raised eyebrows.
Political analysts suggest that Low's living situation outside his district could convey a message of him being more focused on his future aspirations rather than his current constituents. The optics of his residency outside his district may be damaging in the eyes of voters.
Despite residing outside his current Assembly District, Low's campaign emphasizes his commitment to serving Assembly District 26 and highlights that he lives in the congressional district he aims to represent in Congress. This move contrasts with criticisms leveled against a political opponent's residency.
Mindy Romero, a political sociologist, mentions that Low's choice to live outside his legislative district could signal to voters that he has shifted his focus to his future political roles, potentially creating doubts about his connection to and representation of his current constituents.
