Roosevelt they were new dealers and growing up here i just you read the Washington Post every day, are sucked into political life. I can remember very well the Democratic Convention in 1960, we were down at the beach and all the grandparents and parents were huddled around the radio listening to the Convention Night after night. I remember John Kennedys race in 1962, it was the biggest hinge in our family life, the packet that this catholic democrat could win the presidency. So i think the fantasy all my life was that i would grow up and find a career and find a way to get into Public Service. Your tad started a volvo dealership, those who live in washington, d. C. Are quite familiar with don beyer voluntarily row, its your dad. It will be our 42nd anniversary in november and i celebrated my 41st anniversary there back in may. It was sort of an accidental career, i came back to go to med school but my dad needed a summer driver for the parts rubbing and i said, sure, i will do it. By t

Further thought to what you want to do next . Mr. Ratcliffe i do not know if there is a next for me in politics. I hold onto this opportunity very loosely. I am grateful every day that people of the Fourth District have given me the opportunity to be the one voice on the floor of the house of representatives. God has a plan for all of us. As i said, i did not expect to be a member of congress. Once i made the decision to run because i felt a calling, alloys believed i would rehear. I always believed i would eat here. I feel like i can better serve the public. I will look into that. I am happy to be the congressman for the Fourth District of texas. Interviewer how important is your faith . Mr. Ratcliffe my faith is the guiding principle of everything i do. I go through those 300something votes that i take in a run through a series of questions and one of those is, how did the vote i am about to cast coincide with my faith .

I guess the question is how do we think about that when you have an asset in an Enterprise Department that has just deteriorated. And i would add to that, that i have heard from the puc particu
