The House of Representatives will choose a new leader soon and one of the candidates has told members of a federal union he thinks they're hard working they deserve raises and it's time to stop demonizing them. He's one of the Republican candidates for Speaker. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced his candidacy for Speaker on TV yesterday. David Hawkings, senior editor of CQ Roll Call, told In Depth with Francis Rose he's watching how the Speaker's race is unfolding and how it might affect the executive branch.
