Episode 138 Former Congressman Steve Knight by The Talk of Santa Clarita

This is Episode 138 with Republican candidate for the 25th congressional District, former Congressman Steve Knight.
Steve Knight served as the Congressman for the 25th district from 2014 to 2018 until Democrat Katie Hill defeated him by 9 points in the general election. Congressman Knight has deep ties to the district and his family name is well-known here. He is a veteran, a former police officer and California lawmaker.
His time in Congress overlapped between Barack Obama’s Presidency and the Trump Presidency and some have questioned his votes against the Iran Nuclear agreement, the vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act as well as supporting the Trump tax cuts.
Still, Congressman Knight has always been fairly approachable to me at least and always kind and courteous. He first appeared on this show before we had even premiered our fourth episode and has appeared a multitude of times since making him an official friend of the show.
I met with Congressman Knight on the week of Thanksgiving. He was alone and in good spirits when we talked. I found his thoughts on several issues extremely interesting. He admitted to making mistakes the last time he was in office and stated he wanted to be more open to meeting with different groups this time if elected.
But there were three things that I found most fascinating about this interview which I hope you will pay close attention to. The first was while discussing health care. Congressman Knight stated he was not opposed to the public option-an interesting stance from a Republican. The second was about impeachment. He acknowledge that he thought what Trump did was wrong but refused to state if it were impeachable but really the most interesting thing to me was when I asked him what accomplishments he was most proud about while he was in Congress and I think everything he says is extremely telling about Congressman Knight and the type of person and politician he is.
I want to thank him for his time to meet with me and coming on the Talk of Santa Clarita.
