Tom Landis acts as a moderate Republican Congressman negotiating the Chesapeake Bay cleanup bill in the Roosevelt Room. He questions Josh Lyman on regulatory burdens, defends positions tied to local business interests, and weighs re-election risks from constituents. Amid bipartisan deal-making, he faces rebuke from Democrats Segal and Simmel, who decry aiding a vulnerable Republican. Landis prioritizes district optics and pragmatic compromise over party-line rigidity, navigating policy details under White House pressure.
