Here’s what the youngest Congressman at age 29 shared:
On Michelle Obama: “I think Michelle Obama is on the right track with her Let’s Move campaign to bring down childhood obesity… She and I come from the same state, Illinois, which is number four in the nation for obese children. One out of five Illinois children are considered obese.”
On a future in politics: “Public service is a great honor, but it tends to be all-consuming. When I look at that Capitol dome and no longer feel that tingle. Then I’ll know it’s time to go.”
On working out before sunrise: “It’s got to happen early or it’s not going to happen.”
On his fitness calling: “In college I could feel my body changing, and I knew that if I didn’t make some changes, I was going to go in the wrong direction.”
