Speaker of the House or former speaker of the House, Paul Ryan has been in control of the seat for a very long time, this district. What is his political legacy here for the people he used to represent? Well, Paul Ryan conned people when he came in. He pretended to be a moderate to get elected and then kept turning farther and farther to the right. He never delivered for local government like Herb Cole did. He never helped out. It was all ideology and right wing ideology. (01:18–01:28)
