Out of his desire to reduce regulation and what he sees as federal intrusion, Eugene Yu, a Republican candidate for Congress in the 12th District, would like to see the U.S. Departments of Education, Energy and Commerce and the Environmental Protection Agency abolished. Yu, 58, who arrived in the United States as a teenager and took a test to earn his citizenship while serving in the U.S. Army in the 1970s, also has pronounced views about immigration policy. He is vying with four other Republicans in the May 20 primary for the right to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. John Barrow this November.
