Rep. De Fazio, unlike Pelosi and Ryan and most of the rest of those inside the Beltway, has principles and stands by them and does his best for Oregon, not just to maintain his personal power.

His anti-NAFTA positon on truck drivers hurt Oregon Christmas tree producers and fruit producers a few years ago, but he is consistent in his principles.
