Marsha Blackburn

Change, Saying, Through

Steve Chabot

Money, Control, Compromise

Tammy Baldwin

Good, Mind, Person

I don't think I'll ever fully get over losing the city council seat. I don't know how that happened. But it was less than 1 percent out of 50,000 votes. I'd put in six or seven years into changing L.A.

Put, Losing, Less

Problem, Face, State

Good, Amazing, Single
