US Representative Anh "Joseph" Cao (R-LA) recently spoke with National Jesuit News about the process of discernment that he uses in reaching decisions as a US congressman, how those decisions are grounded in his background in Ignatian spirituality, and why he didn't choose the party line in voting for health care reform.
A Vietnamese-born lawyer, the first Vietnamese-American to be elected to Congress, and a former Jesuit seminarian, Cao is the current US Representative from Louisiana's 2nd congressional district and was the lone Republican congressman to vote for health care reform on November 7, 2009.
