Art Competition winners and my Face the Nation interview


The winners were recently announced of the 2015 Congressional Art Competition. High school artists from every Congressional District are invited to submit artwork to the competition, and the first-place submissions from each district are displayed in the U.S. Capitol. I’d like to congratulate Lauren Nichols, winner of the competition in California’s 22nd District, along with second-place winner Paxton Hergenroeder and third-place winner Vivian Napoles. Their submissions are below:
