Ask Your Lawmaker

Listen to: U.S. Rep. Peter A. DeFazio (D-OR)

Xie: What would you do if you were not in politics?

DeFazio: Well, I would, I would have a job that would not require transcontinental airplane flights thirty to thirty five times a year, which means something close by in the Pacific Northwest, in a nice place to live, and I think I might want to teach, because that’s another way to change the world. You can change it by passing laws and policies and fighting, you know, the good fight here, or you can help bring up the next generation of leaders and get them to take on the fight for you.
