Exclusive – ‘Mansion Maxine’: Joe Collins Launches Ad Ripping Maxine Waters for Not Living in Her District

Ashley Oliver 10 Oct 2020

Republican Joe Collins, a Navy veteran challenging Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters in California’s 43rd Congressional District, launched a campaign ad Saturday blasting the congresswoman for residing outside the district she represents while her constituents “suffer the consequences” of her policies.

“Maxine does not live in her district. But I do. I was born right here in South L.A., in a place Maxine refuses to live,” Collins says. “Maxine Waters does not drink our water. She does not breathe our air. And while she sits here in her mansion, our district is in ruins.”

This reminds me of Kim Klacik's ad for Congress ... actually showing the district that's been owned for eons by a democrat.

I like this trend.  The "what the hell do you have to lose" chickens are coming home to roost!

If she has an apartment in that district and can get mail there, she can represent that district, even though she has a huge house somewhere else.  She could also live with someone in that district and get mail there, and represent that district.

This has happened in Texas many times.  Let's say you are a representative in your district and redistricting happens and your house is no longer in that district.  You get an apartment in the new district where you can get mail and you continue to be the representative of that district.

Let's say you own a big house, you can get mail there, you own a lake house in another state where you can get mail, and you live with your mother in another state part of the year and can get mail there.  You must have a "physical address", not just a mail box.  Now, where do you vote?

You can register to vote at any of those locations but only register at one.

The point is not a legal one @Victoria33 --- it's a moral one.  And you missed it.

Residence in one's district is not a requirement in California. Which is why Collins' point is that Mad Maxine has isolated herself from the daily life experience of those she supposedly represents.

If the dissatisfaction with the Rat overlords is a national trend there may be enough votes for Trump to help carry swing states.

I would love to see Black voters come back to the Pub liberation party, but the lack of quality education, cultural pressure and social media lies makes it tough. If these candidates don't win I sure hope the Trump admn. finds a place for them.

Another case where it is happening and conservatives are overlooking it is the Senate race in Alabama, Tubberville lived in Florida and suddenly claims he lives in Alabama.

Tommy has a home near Auburn and one in Fl.  Ln Alabama, you only need to be a resident for one day to run for office.

Just say'n.

How did a Republican slip through the Jungle Primary in Mad Maxine's District?

[jafo2010]

Very effective way to defeat an incumbent.  Rick Santorum defeated Doug Walgren with an ad a couple weeks before election, indicating Walgren no longer lived in PA but in northern Virginia.  Years later, Santorum was defeated for the same reason when the Dem ran ads against him indicating he too was living in northern Virginia.

Wouldn't it be sweet to see large mouth bass Maxine tumble because she no longer lives in the district she represents?  Very sweet.

And I think Californians have to be reaching a breaking point.  Trump should fit in a number of rallies in CA and attempt to encourage the people of California to abandon the idiots of the Democommie Party, who never did anything for anyone.

Haha, there will be no "breaking point" in deep blue California, UNLESS it "breaks from" the current leftism/socialism to outright bolshevism/communism.

It's like that force they call... gravity.
Once the tree has tipped more than 45degrees downward, there's only one way for it to keep going.

The only thing that can restore traditional American governance and values to California (at least the central/southern part) is a military occupation, followed by a modern-day "radical reconstruction".

Short of that, it's NEVER comin' back...

Probably no Dem dared run against her in the primary.
