Rep. Jess Flake is one of the key congressional players calling for reform in House leadership. He's often among a handful of Republicans in casting 'no' votes on bills supported by most of his Party. Flake is a fifth-generation Arizonan who was a Mormon missionary and Executive Director of the Foundation for Democracy in Namibia and the Goldwater Institute before entering the House. He pledged to only serve three terms in Congress, but has announced that he will be a candidate this year for a fourth term.
