Dennis Kucinich has been in congress in since 1996. He says his main legacy is helping create national movements such as universal health care that will someday bear fruit and that Congress needs leaders like him who cut a path for others to follow.
Kucinich: Because of my experience, in growing up in Cleveland, no one can do a con job on me. Over and over, with impeachment, with the war,with every other issue, what I've shown is an ability to defend the interests of the people of the 10th district."
But Congressman Kucinich voted against funding for the State Children's Healthcare Program known as S-CHIP because it didn't cover every child. Councilman Cimperman said that's typical of Kucinich's style and that he would do better.
Kucinich: You may have disputes with something, but it takes courage to build consensus. It takes courage to work with people who disagree with you.
