Utah's 3rd-District Representative Talks About David Safavian, Term Limits and a Possible Democratic Majority

 

(KCPW News)  In this election cycle, much political hay has been made of lobbying and ethics scandals. Dealings with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff have led to resignations of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Ohio Rep Bob Ney.

Utah's own Chris Cannon has faced questions about his former chief of staff David Safavian - who was a lobbyist and who was convicted on charges of making false statements and obstructing investigations.

Representative Cannon says he was never influenced by Safavian's money or powerful clients.

KCPW's Jonathan Brown asked him to name the most important issue in this, his fifth run for Congress.
