Former OSU Philosophy major joins US House of Representatives

Anthony Gonzalez

Former OSU philosophy major (and football Buckeye) Anthony Gonzalez is profiled in the Columbus Dispatch as he becomes the new US Representative for Ohio’s 16th district:

Then-coach Jim Tressel had asked Gonzalez, a philosophy major, and other players on his team to create a list of goals — short term and long term. Gonzalez had listed “public service” among them.

… “His advice to me was, ‘Go where you think you can be the most useful. Only you can figure that out.’”

That advice led to a successful campaign — Gonzalez’s first — and, on Thursday, him stepping on the floor of the House of Representatives for the first time.
