## Resource

Holding a seat in the House of Representatives is no easy task, so what is it that drives someone to run for office four times? With the end of his fourth and final term drawing near, Congressman Ryan Zinke (R-MT) joins The Rundown to answer that very question. Rep. Zinke weighs in on the main challenges of the job, the gradual ceding of authority to the executive branch, as well as the ongoing redistricting battle and its impact on our future democracy. He also shares the aspects of the job he’ll miss most, and least, once he steps down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
