Republican Ammie Akin is running for Alabama’s 7th Congressional District, a district that stretches from part of Birmingham, across portions of Tuscaloosa County to the state’s western Black Belt. Since 2011 it’s been represented by Democrat Terri Sewell, who is running for reelection. Property and voting records show, and Akin’s campaign confirmed, that she lives in the 6th Congressional District. Her home is in unincorporated Jefferson County near the intersection of Interstate 459 and U. S. Highway 280. It is not illegal to run outside of one’s congressional district. The U. S. Constitution requires members of the House to be inhabitants of the state they represent but not the specific district. Still, it is not typical. “District 7 is the only district I want to run in and the reason for that is because that's the district I'm most equipped to run in because of my background and my resume,” Akin said. Akin has spent her career in educational settings. According to her LinkedIn profile, she began her career as a teacher at Hoover High School before spending about eight years with the Trussville City Schools.

CENTRAL PARK, Manhattan (WABC) -- A woman is speaking out after she says she fought off three men who attempted to rob her while she was riding her bicycle in Central Park on Sunday night. Katherine Marroquin said she was biking on East Drive near East 90th Street when the men confronted her and struck her in the head. She said she believes the suspects were targeting valuables. "I think they were trying to like, steal phones, maybe, and they just saw me, saw the bike. They were like, 'oh, money,'" she said. Marroquin said she purchased the bicycle last year for her commute between the Bronx and Manhattan and believed biking would be safer than taking the subway. She said the encounter happened in a dark area and that the men appeared suddenly. "It's just... they were hiding somewhere, like it was really dark and they waited for me to lean down and wait. And then they appeared," Marroquin said. According to Marroquin, the three men emerged from behind bushes along the running track near the reservoir in Central Park, close to the East 90th Street and Fifth Avenue entrance, shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday.
