Denver Riggleman, R-Va., is a former distillery owner and a veteran. “If you don’t fight for what you think is right, if you’re not willing to stand up, you will get rolled over,” the newly-elected Riggleman tells The Daily Signal, adding, “I don’t want to be in politics, but I think people who hate politics need to get involved with politics.” Plus: We discuss Fox News’ Tucker Carlson’s proposal that the government ban smartphones for teens.
