Washington, D.C.—Congressman Christopher P. Carney has announced four Listening Tour Town Hall Meetings for Monday and Tuesday to be held in Susquehanna, Pike, Wyoming and Bradford counties. He will be available to discuss issues affecting our community, including actions Congress is taking to reform our health care system, help our economy and support our veterans. In addition, Congressman Carney will have staff on hand to help with casework issues, including veterans’ benefits, Social Security and Medicare payments.

“Listening to the people of Pennsylvania’s 10th District is a responsibility I take very seriously as their representative in Congress,” said Congressman Carney. “Every year, I hold town hall meetings in each of the district’s 14 counties, events that provide me with an opportunity to not only meet constituents but hear their concerns and take their questions. I look forward to meeting constituents on Monday and Tuesday.”

Following the successes of the listening tours of the last two years, Congressman Carney has already held town hall events in seven counties in 2009.
