     4  requiring  a  person  to  be  a resident of the political subdivision or
     5  municipal corporation of the state for which he or she shall  be  chosen
     6  or  within  which his or her official functions are required to be exer-
     7  cised, shall not prevent a person from holding the office  of  assistant
     8  district attorney of the county of Washington, provided that such person
     9  resides  in Washington county or an adjoining county within the state of
