Um...no?

It was last held by three different Democrats from January 3, 1979
through January 3, 1993.

How does she keep getting elected?

Oh wait - San Francisco - that explains everything.

Yeah, but... the *area* hasn't elected a Democrat since sometime in the
1800s. The 23 District moves around. At one time it was part of
Manhattan.

Fine - 1979 to 1983 which was the last time it was "stable".

And it's always been called the 23rd.

So there. Neener, neener, neener. :)

I mean seriously - yeah but? It works both ways. :)
