	CSIndy: Joel Hefley:Congressman for Life (October 3, 2002)
		Hefley's affable style may, however, be one of the reasons he hasn't landed a chairmanship on any major, coveted committee, which would give him considerable power to decide whether certain bills make it to a vote.
		Hefley, who represents one of the most high-tech districts in the country, said he didn't want to be inundated with messages from special-interest groups and people outside his district.
		Hefley may be safe in spending his campaign cash on club dues, considering that his closest opponent in terms of fund-raising, Libertarian candidate Biff Baker, has raised only $10,000, according to the most recent data.
