Every Tuesday, HOH gets to know a Member of Congress better through a series of five fun questions. This week, we chat with Rep. Billy Long, the new Missouri Republican with a flair for Twitter.
Q: What team do you think will win the Stanley Cup?
A: The St. Louis Blues.
Q: If you could have dinner with anyone (aside from your family) who would it be and why?

Q: What’s your favorite drink?
A: Coca-Cola.
Q: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
A: “The Wizard of Oz.”
Q: Who’s your best friend in Congress?
A: As Missourian Harry Truman famously said, “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog!”
