Forum on constitutional living rules and Homeland Security stance
Ben Streusand argued a candidate need not live in the district but should likely reside there when not in Washington. Rodney Veach said familiarity matters yet time living there isn’t required. The group debated an equal protection amendment for Congress and citizens. Candidates largely backed party platforms. Phil Fitzgerald questioned a plank by buying lottery tickets despite opposition to gambling. DHS views split on privacy invasions, military strength, state-level handling, and border resources.
