Dave Brat, R-Va., the economics professor who toppled former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the June GOP primary, in interviewed by The Associated press in his office on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014. Five months after his upset of Cantor, Brat comes across as down-to-earth and says his constituents have warned him not to let Washington change him. "Everyone just says, ‘Dave, keep being yourself,’” Brat said in an interview in his sparsely decorated office this week. “‘You better not change. You better keep being Dave.’" (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) (AP)
