We continue today with our conversations with the departing and incoming members of Congress.
Yesterday we heard from Republican Jeb Bradley, who lost his re-election bid on November 7th.
Next, we hear from Republican Charles Bass, who met an identical fate.
Bass served in Congress for 12 years.
He first went to Washington as a member of the Republican Revolution, the historic turnover that ended 40 years of Democratic control of the house.
NHPR's Jon Greenberg spoke with Representative Bass in his dining room.
