House Members Cope With Anti-Washington Sentiment While Running For State Office

Even though having Washington, D.C., on your résumé is supposed to be like having a scarlet letter on your lapel this election cycle, more than a dozen current and former Members of Congress are running for governor -- and trying to overcome voters' ill feelings toward the nation's capital.
