 @a2f3726b well and “uprooted” here is complicated. Senator needs a DC apartment (already arranged) and a CA apartment (might still own?) and then spend all their CA time in hotels away from said apartment anyway because it’s a big state

The article I listened to said she owns a home in California but it sounded like someone was living in it.

In the end I don't live there and it's not my representative. I'd ask the same question if I woke up and our governor appointed someone from out of state.

 @a2f3726b it’s a reasonable Q that I’m sure will be asked in state (though I suspect mostly also in bad faith). I do wonder if it’s different in CA where (it seems to me anyway) people are constantly moving in and out (dammit now I want a burger). I mean, 15ish years living in LA and (briefly) Santa Cruz and I don’t think anyone once asked me where I went to high school

As long as the person appointed represents the whole state it shouldn't matter. I personally would want someone living in my state, seeing everything first hand. 

After heading the largest union in California she should have support.
