Republican Running For Congress In Four States

Taegan Goddard picks up the story of Allan Levene in David Hawkings’ Roll Call column.

In a year when the roster of candidates is filled with the usual collection of career politicians, war veterans, minor celebrities and hard-luck cases, Levene stands apart. He’s a 64-year-old information technology expert, financial planner and sometime inventor who is “willing to offer myself up wherever required” in order to get to Washington — because he’s so convinced of his aptitude as a policymaker, so concerned about his life expectancy and so worried about his country.

“I simply cannot stand aside,” Levene declared during an expansive 30-minute conversation with me on his cellphone Wednesday morning. “I am ready to strike a chord, and I believe I will.”

To make a fascinating story short, what he amply manifests in ego and aspiration he totally lacks in political acumen. He doesn’t stand a chance in Minnesota, Michigan, Hawaii or Georgia, where he’s actually lived for the past three decades.

But his simultaneous quests, which he claims make him unique in American history, appear legally legit. The Constitution only requires that a representative, “when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen,” and Levene promises to quickly establish legal residency wherever he wins his first Republican primary.
