Georgia Dem: No issue I don't live in district
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 04/18/17 09:15 AM EDT
Democrat Jon Ossoff dismissed concerns Tuesday over the fact that he doesn't live in the Georgia congressional district in which he's running for a House seat.
"I grew up in this district; I grew up in this community it's my home. My family is still there," Ossoff said during an interview on CNN's "New Day."
Ossoff currently lives just outside Georgia's 6th Congressional District with his girlfriend, while she is attending medical school. He said that he has been transparent about the fact that he doesn't live in the district and pledged to move back to the district as soon as his girlfriend finishes school.
"I'm a mile and a half down the street to support Alicia while she finishes medical school. It's something I've been very transparent about," he said. "In fact, I'm proud to be supporting her career."
"As soon as she finishes her medical training, I'll be 10 minutes back up the road into the district where I grew up," he continued.
