Happy Father's Day - with Congressman Jimmy Gomez
In a special Father's Day episode of What's Next, Los Angeles, Mike talks with Los Angeles area Congressman Jimmy Gomez, who this year formed a Congressional Dads Caucus to focus on pushing legislation that helps working families. A first-time Dad, Gomez gained attention when young Hodge accompanied him onto the House floor for January's prolonged vote for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Jimmy and Mike talk about the joys of fatherhood, and balancing parenting with politics. And Mike shares a few thoughts about the amazing Dads in his life.
