The DeSaulnier Digest: Out and About in CA-10
For the past two weeks, with the House in a District Work Period, I’ve had the opportunity to be out in our community, hearing directly from constituents at a town hall, on our Education Listening Tour, and in other meetings. I am excited to bring your perspectives back to Washington this week as House Democrats continue our efforts to support families and working Americans. Thank you to everyone who engaged with our office this week. Hearing from you is the most important part of my job!
Sincerely,
Mark DeSaulnier
Member of Congress
