UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES / From the desk of Tom Cole
Lawmakers are returning to Washington, D.C. after spending several weeks in their districts. The extended time during the customary August district work period each year always provides the opportunity to interact directly with constituents and hear firsthand about the issues that matter most to them. I am always thankful for this time to gain that perspective before returning to legislative work.
This August, I traveled to a total of nine counties in the Fourth Congressional District to visit local communities, organizations and small businesses. I also attended various site tours and had coffees and lunches to speak directly with community leaders. I also hosted two telephone town halls, in which I provided an update from Congress and answered numerous questions on a variety of national issues from those on the line.
