Congressman Mark Alford's Triumphant Return To Kansas City

Over the weekend, the newsman legend visited his old stomping grounds.

Here's a portion of the interview and more info . . .

Congressman Alford also has faced a number of difficult issues while on Capitol Hill, including raising the debt ceiling.

“I was one of 41 Republicans who voted no, and here’s why: When I set out to campaign, I told the voters one important thing. This isn’t about me. This isn’t about Mark Alford. I traveled to 24 counties. I drove 70,000 miles in my Ford Expedition, and I told them this is about you. This is about your voice. I simply want to amplify that voice, so I want to vote for you. That’s how the House of Representatives is supposed to be set up,” Alford said.

That's a great local interview worth watching and it's part of a bigger clip about a myriad of local issues.
