A congressional legacy - The Latta family's call to service

Dear Ohio - Politics, Issues, and People

Taking over the family business or following in a parent’s footsteps professionally is something millions of Americans do. But what about when the family business is the United States Congress? Republican Rep. Bob Latta, OH-5, has been in office since 2007. Long before that, his father, the late Delbert Latta, represented the same northwest Ohio district for 30 years.

Spectrum News 1 Washington Bureau Reporter Taylor Popielarz guest hosts and speaks with Bob Latta about what it was like growing up with a parent in Congress, whether pursuing politics himself was a given because of it and if the type of family affair helps or hurts the federal government.
