Running for Congress, in Georgia and three other states – at the same time
By Jim Galloway


Allan Levene isn’t absolutely convinced of his chances in the GOP race for the congressional seat now held by U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey of Marietta.

So the Kennesaw resident has hit on what he thinks is a unique strategy to increase the odds that he’ll have a job in Washington come next year.

He’s going to run in three other congressional districts as well. In three other states: Michigan (14th CD), Minnesota (6th CD) and Hawaii (1st CD). The U.S. Constitution, he notes, only requires residency at the time of next year’s November election.

Levene used to live in metro Detroit. Work as an IT man has sometimes carried him to Minnesota.

“Of course, living in Hawaii wouldn’t be bad, but I’d rather stay in Georgia,” Levene, 64, said this morning. “But I’m a practical man. I don’t have time to do this two years at a time, since I expect to be dead in 10 years.”

A London native but naturalized U.S. citizen, Levene has chosen an American football analogy: “Going wide rather than going long.”

1. I don't want him. Do you?

Georgia has enough crackpots. Let's let Michigan, Minnesota or Hawaii have him.
