I believe they must establish residency in the district they represent. They may live elsewhere as long as they maintain their residency. Many senators and congressmen live in Washington DC while maintaining residency in their home state.

Let's see. Um.. can an airline pilot represent the Teamsters? I would think you need to be a part of a group in order to represent it. How could a Congressman/woman living in Iowa represent taxpayers in Alabama?
