1961 –
Tom Emmer (born 1961): the sweep's purest test of the birth-tie rule. The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress (E000294) records: born in South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana, 3 March 1961. Everything after belongs to Minnesota: raised at Edina, in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library's legislator record; St. Thomas Academy (1979); a B.A. from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (1984) and a J.D. from Mitchell College of Law (1988); the Minnesota House from 2004 to 2010; the U.S. House from Minnesota's Sixth District from 3 January 2015; and the House Majority Whip's office in the 118th and 119th Congresses. He is entered here because the official record of the Congress he sits in gives this city his birth — and at exactly that size, one compact entry, with the whole formation and career left to Minnesota, where the record puts them. A living person; the entry states the public record.
