Congressional Wedding Bells

I guess even in the halls of Congress, there are intermarriages, like in Hollywood.

This past weekend in Brookings, South Dakota, Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth (D-South Dakota) and former Congressman Man Sandlin (D-Texas) tied the knot.

Sandlin served as a Congressman from Northeast Texas representing a district that was based around Texarkana until his defeat in 2004. He was one of the Texas Democrats defeated in Tom DeLay's gerrymandering of Texas.

Stephanie Herseth is a member of a political family in South Dakota. She won the seat of Republican Bill Janklow in a special election in 2004 when Janklow was sent to prison, and was reelected in the 2004 election and in 2006.

Herseth will now go by the name Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, which should go over well when she runs for Senate (God willing.)
