Yes.
For example Norm Coleman from new york represents Minnesota and Clinton of Arkansan represent New York.
Whether this is right is a matter of opinion only.
What is interesting as well is that the President and Vice president can not be residents of the same state.....
Which was the debated case in for Bush and Cheney, although both lived in Texas Cheney claimed Wyoming.

Yes. For UNITED STATES, not for a specific state:
Under Article 1, section 2 (house) section 3 (senate)
Senator: Clause 3. No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Congressman: Clause 2. No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

its kinda of a funny question when you think about it.
Where else in the world can you hold an office by moving.
if you don't think you can make it in your state find one who doesn't know how dirty your water is and move there.
