Recently, The CPA Journal interviewed Joseph DioGuardi, the first practicing CPA elected to Congress, representing New York’s 20th Congressional district from 1985 to 1989. DioGuardi is currently the president of Truth In Government (https://www.truthingovernment.org). The following is an edited presentation of that wide-ranging discussion. A selected, edited excerpt appeared in the April 2019 issue (https://www.cpajournal.com/2019/07/12/an-interview-with-former-congressman-joseph-dioguardi).
