One important thing to note is that, speaking for my former Rep, who's on that list, she first took office in 2019, and then re-elected in 2020 and 2022 to the same seat, but due to redistricting, her place of residence ended up in a different district.
I live on the border between those two districts and remember when they changed it, and she became the 'district next door's rep' rather than my rep.

Seeing a lot of names from states with large metro areas which brings up this thought: if nobody would blink twice for you to commute between your home and your district, people probably aren't going to be that bothered. Yeah, it's better if someone is living there and knows the specific issues of the district, but they still reasonably would be considered "local"...

It doesn't bother me as much. I mean, there are a few examples of this that won't appear in your list: e.g., Texas Rep. Pete Sessions represented Dallas from 1997 to 2019 until he lost re-election to Colin Allred, then moved about 100 miles to Waco and won an open seat there in 2020. Or Bill and Hillary who bought a million-dollar home in Chappaqua one year before Hillary was elected as New York's senator. Were they better representatives by virtue of the fact that they purchased property in the district right before starting their campaigns? So a simple residency requirement still makes it easy for (rich) politicians to carpetbag; on the other hand, I think requiring many years of residence in the district would be unnecessarily restrictive to voter choice.

Does it even matter that so many U.S. Representatives don't live in the districts they represent?
