Change "R-Farmington Hills" to "R-Macomb County" edit

It is misleading to refer to the district's U.S. Representative John James as "R-Farmington Hills" since Farmington Hills is not within Michigan's 10th congressional district. This is a rare case where the representative does not live in the district they represent.

Reporters often refer to James as (R-Farmington Hills), inferring James represents Farmington Hills.

Instead, we need to use an appropriate short-hand for his representation. I suggest "R-Macomb County," "R-Rochester" or "R-MI10") Larry Alan94 (talk) 20:13, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Larry Alan94: No, it's not supposed to indicate what place he represents, it's supposed to indicate where he resides. This is not exclusive to Wikipedia. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 02:59, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
