[@Will_Richmond]( Good morning, I'm Will Richmond at The Providence Journal and this is the Daily Briefing. Does where you live matter when it comes to Rhode Island's Congressional districts? That's the question The Journal's Katherine Gregg set out to answer in this week's Political Scene. Though there doesn't exactly appear to be a consensus. We know in hindsight it mattered to now-Congressman Seth Magaziner as he ran last year and moved his family from their home in Providence's East Side to Cranston. And Katherine lays out what played into that decision. [Analysis How A Democratic Sweep On Nov 3 Could Restore Congress Power] A view of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

To learn more, Katherine talked with a couple of the campaigns to learn more about their thinking. She also chatted with RI political experts to get a sense of how voters approach the residence of candidates.
