Co-Founder Anthony sits down with... Anthony! Rep. Anthony Gonzalez to be exact, a 36-year-old Republican who represents Ohio's 16th district. They chat about Rep. Gonzalez's view of Congress today, where he thinks things can be fixed, and how his NFL career prepared him for the big leagues of the Capitol. Rep.
