Six years ago, Rep. Paul Gosar promised his constituents he would someday buy a home in his adopted congressional district. The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday he still hasn’t done so.
Gosar still rents a Prescott apartment in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District and primarily lives in Flagstaff, according to Coconino County property records and Yavapai County voter registration records obtained by The Republic.
Gosar and his wife, Maude, have for years received $600 state-subsidized discounts on their Flagstaff property taxes because that is classified as their primary residence, the records show. His wife remains registered to vote in Coconino County, while he is registered in Yavapai County.
There’s no law requiring members of Congress to live within their district.
Gosar did not return repeated requests for comment about the matter. He has dismissed the residency questions in the past.
