Which is a quick flight away from NY or Philly...
You don't need to be close to DC to have political and legislative change or influence ability. If this was 1812, where it would take days to get there, and people would die on the way there potentially, I could understand being close to the capital, but in this day and age, airplanes exist. And technology might I add. Things like email or video conference and so on.
