What we found

Supports. Mediaite reports that in posts from August and October 2024, Langley referred to Louisiana as her home state, matching the claim's months exactly.[4]

Supports. The Advocate, citing The Patriot-News, says Langley listed Louisiana as her home state in 2024, the same period she used the Pennsylvania address.[5]

Supports. Raw Story reports that Langley referred to Louisiana as her home state in posts during the 2024 campaign, citing The Bulwark.[3]

Supports. LGBTQ Nation, citing The Bulwark, reports that Langley calls Louisiana her home state and that social media posts suggest she relocated there by January 2025.[6]

Context. The passage the claim was extracted from is the claimant's own repetition of the report and is not independent evidence; the fact-check archive and PolitiFact results in the sources do not address Langley.[1][2][7]
