Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has visited Washington state, where he could find himself a congressional candidate should he lose his Ohio seat to redistricting next year. Ohio stands to lose two seats, and rumors have swirled Kucinich will run in Washington, which will add a new seat. Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman was also recently in Washington state and had a chance to speak with Kucinich about his plans.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich: “Ohio has a redistricting. Ohio is losing two seats. My district is quite likely to be one of them. So people have asked me, 'Well, if the Republicans redistrict you, are you just going to quit?' And I said, 'Look, I'm in Congress to speak out for workers’ rights, for human rights, for peace, for the environment. And so, I’d like to continue that work, and if I can’t continue it in the area that I’m representing now, then I’m going to look elsewhere.’”
