(KAIR)--United States Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins came to the local area last week, meeting with constituents at several stops during her ongoing “Coffee With Your Congresswoman” initiative.
During a visit to Atchison Friday afternoon, Jenkins told MSC News the tour gives her a chance to meet with those who give her her marching orders, the voting public, and to hear their concerns for the nation.
“A briefing from my boss is what it is with every town hall that we do. I work for them. I need to know what priorities they have, and we heard some today. They'd like to see Obamacare repealed, they'd like to see Dodd-Frank repealed, they'd like, I think, to see a balanced budget. All of that just is good feedback for me to take to Washington and know my priorities and what they want me to be spending my time on.”
From Atchison, the 2nd District Republican Congresswoman Friday traveled to both Highland and Horton to meet with residents of those communities.
Earlier in the week, she made stops in the local region, including those in Holton and Blue Rapids.
