Not a Fed government thing.

The local members office is not provided by the government. Mostly they 
rent/lease the office, if the member looses their seat the usual thing 
is for the office to be offered to the new incumbent, and mostly that is 
accepted.. but not always.


Funding for the office, I think, is provided .. but the office is 
usually commercial space.

hoping for a change of government.
