Comment: If you don't know the principals, the hook isn't so hooky. How about:
ALT1: ... that while Ben Musa served as an Oregon state senator, his wife was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives, representing approximately half of his senate district? Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree, ALT1 is more interesting.--Orygun (talk) 05:32, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. Yoninah (talk) 20:20, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

New enough, certainly long enough, and meets policy. The Alt1 hook is short enough, interesting, and cited. QPQ done, all set! 1bandsaw (talk) 07:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
