New man on Capitol Hill dives into his latest role: Son of long-serving representative embraces duties: 'I'm not here to sleep. My job is to work.'

WASHINGTON In the four months he’s been on the job, U.S. Rep. Bob Latta (R., Bowling Green) has cast hundreds of votes, opened three district offices, posed for photos regularly with groups of constituents in front of the Capitol, and signed thousands of letters. 

He still hasn’t found a place to live. 

Mr. Latta gets a little sheepish about the fact that he sleeps on an air mattress in his office in the Longworth Building on Capitol Hill.
