IF You ran for congress, where would you run and why?

[Young Conservative]

Or if you would never ever consider running, explain why!

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

Vermont, since ideologically I'm basically a cross between Sanders and Obama. Also, it's a place I've always wanted to live.

[Santander]

Probably ME-02. I'm not a great fit, but I love Maine, I speak mediocre French, and I could ride Paul LePage's coattails.

[Xing]

Outside of Washington, maybe CA-12 or NY-06.

[Virginiá]

MD-8 - Hardly the exact region (due to gerrymandering) I'd like to represent, but since it covers parts of MoCo I have history with, I'd like it nonetheless

ME-1 - Love Maine

[Anna Komnene]

I decided I would never run a long time ago.  The media is too invasive, and there's too many crazy people around like that guy that was arrested for threatening to murder Tulsi Gabbard and Mazie Hirono.

[LLR]

My home district, because it's super Democratic, has a lot of Jews, and I've lived here my whole life.

[RFayette]

In terms of ideological fit, definitely somewhere in Alabama or Oklahoma

[rpryor03]

Northern Maine.

[Crumpets]

I would carpetbag and run in WA-1, since it's easier to make inroads as a non-incumbent than in WA-7. I have also entertained the fantasy of trying to get selected as the Democrats' sacrificial lamb in Wyoming's at-large district, since my family has some property there.

[Potus]

The great West Virginia 2nd!!

[Slow Learner]

Somewhere in Boston, to take advantage of my Scottish-Irish heritage. Though of course my unionist views would bugger that up somewhat.

inb4 'this isn't the 70s'

[Green Line]

IL-3.  I would have to run as a Democrat if I wanted to win, but that would be ok with me.  Really down to earth people there.

[Maxwell]

OK-1, where I'd probably run as a populist-ish Democrat with a focus on education issues.

[evergreenarbor]

Probably WA-07 or WA-02 - I've spent most of my life in Seattle and Bellingham, so these are natural choices. Plus I could actually win a general election in WA-07. Outside of Washington, probably CA-02 - it's the part of California that I'm most familiar with and there's no way I'd lose a race in a D+20 district.

[JerryArkansas]

I mean WA-9 would be a good fit for me.

[DavidB.]

NY-01 would be pretty good for me, I think. Wouldn't really matter whether I'd run as a Republican or a Democrat.

Will obviously never run for Congress though (not an American).

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

MA-02 because I'm from there. I'd run as an independent and get obliterated.

[Goldwater]

Hmm, I suppose considering where I was born and grew up, NV-02 is the one I've spent the most time in. It might not be a bad fit for me either, politically speaking.

[Mike Thick]

CA-26. I've lived here for my whole life, it's a place where the right Republican could win an open seat in a good year, and (most importantly) I dislike carpetbagging.

[Figueira]

My home district (MA-1) because I'm from there. But I'd have have to make connections in Springfield to win.

[Kingpoleon]

As a Republican, MA-6.

As a Democrat, probably NY-19.

[Antonio the Sixth]

CA-12, of course.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

TX-14....cause Ron Paul district

[SATW]

Suburban republican districts would likely be areas where I'd do decent. Also, some areas that are centrist would prob elect me as well.

I'd be running as a social moderate (Pro-LGBT, kind of pro-Pot, pro-Immigration reform, generally not in the religious right's camp) who is fiscally libertarian and a foreign policy hawk.
