The DeSaulnier Digest: District Work Period Recap
Last week's District Work Period afforded me the opportunity to engage with the community through visits to schools across the district, one-on-one meetings with constituents, and public safety events.
As I head back to Washington this week, I am as grateful as ever for the privilege of representing you in Congress and looking forward to continuing my efforts with House Democrats to lower costs for American families, grow the middle class, and build an economy that works for everyone.
Sincerely,
Mark DeSaulnier
Member of Congress
