In this episode of NTD’s “Profiles of Service,” we sit down with Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), who began representing California’s District 32 in 1997, after a career as an attorney and internal revenue officer. Sherman shares his philosophy of service, the challenges of office, his humor, and why he thinks it’s all still worth it.

“You get to have an impact on the most important things in the world—small impact, but still, very important things. And you also get to have a big impact on small things,” he said.

<em>“Profiles of Service” is an NTD News series that features the men and women who have chosen to dedicate themselves to public service. At a time of low trust in the political process—according to a recent <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/647303/confidence-institutions-mostly-flat-police.aspx?utm_source=tagrss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=syndication">Gallup</a> poll, 57 percent of the country has “very little” confidence in Congress—we launched the series to get to know our elected officials on a different level. We ask them about the challenges and rewards of being in office, why public service matters, and what inspiration they can offer to the next generation of potential leaders.</em>
