With the threat of another partisan standoff over the federal budget looming, Senator Mark Udall (D-Colorado) hosted a group of constituents to play a round of Budget Hero. The "serious game" is the result of a collaboration between American Public Media and the Wilson Center and is intended to engage and inform participants about the federal budget process. We spoke to Senator Udall about the budget and about what he learned from experiencing Budget Hero with his constituents.

Mark Emery Udall is the senior United States Senator from Colorado and a member of the Democratic Party.
