QUIZ: Are you a Schrader or a Yoho?
While both work in the interest of veterinary medicine, the two veterinarian-congressmen couldn't be more different politically.
Yoho campaigned on the promise to repeal the 2010 healthcare law. He held true to that promise this fall, siding with conservative House Republicans who refused to support any federal budget resolution that did not defund the law.
