Everyone has an opinion as to whether or not politicians have achieved much in Washington the past few months.  And Congressmen certainly have their opinions too as shared by  Republican Garrett Graves of Livingston, LA who represents the 6th District.  He spoke to the Baton Rouge Press Club yesterday.  Graves touched on a variety of subjects including partisan divide,  Senator Steve Scalise's physical challenges he faces during his recovery from being shot last June and political challenges for addressing the contentious "Repeal and Replace" bill that failed in the Senate.
