The DeSaulnier Digest: Out and About in CA-10
Hearing directly from members of our community at town halls is one of my favorite parts of this job and I got another chance to do that at last week's in-person town hall in Oakley. It was a great opportunity to get out to a new city in our district and provide an update on the latest in Congress. Thank you to everyone who came out and participated with thoughtful questions and comments. If you were unable to join us, you can watch a recording of the event by clicking here or on the image below. Please stay tuned for news of future town halls on our social media pages and via email.
