Patch sat down with Congressman Jim Himes (D-4) this week and asked him your questions about health care, the economy — both local and national — and his new position on the House Intelligence Committee.

In the first of a series of video segments (see above), Himes talks about his support for the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) and a recent Twitter battle about whether members of congress will really experience the exchanges in the same way as average citizens.

Rep. Himes' congressional district encompasses lower Fairfield County including Wilton. Look for additional videos of the Himes interview in the coming days.
