West VirginiaHello.  Welcome to American Cafe.  I'm Jody.  So, Yang Chen, this is a big political year in the United States.  The race for the White House is not going to be an easy one.
But Yang Chen, don't forget; it's not only the White House.  There are also Congressional races going on in the States that are very important.  In fact, our guest today is Richard Martin, the campaign manager for Christopher Turman's congressional challenge in West Virginia.
My name is Richard Martin.  I'm managing Christopher Turman's Congressional challenge in West Virginia 2.   
West Virginia 2 means the Second Congressional District in West Virginia.  All States are divided into districts and those districts each has their own congressional representation.   
So complicated!  That's why I'm not in politics.  So, I asked Richard why he is drawn to politics.  Here's what he had to say.  
I've been a political professional for about 5 years.  I'm drawn to it mostly because I...I...I believe that all too often the government's used as a tool for certain people to get what they want done and it sort of ignores what would be better for most people.
Oh, absolutely.  Many people believe that government is a tool that is used by huge companies and big business and not everyday people, you know
Exactly.  And Richard believes that the better representatives we elect, the better everyone's lives will be.  Now, let's hear from Richard.  
I think the better representatives we elect the better everyone's lives are gonna be.  And we need our government to work for the people and not the huge companies.
