U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) will host and participate in dozens of events while Congress is out of session from April 10-23, including a number of town halls and community forums. These events will provide an opportunity for members of the community to ask questions and receive an update on federal efforts to protect healthcare and the environment, and other key issues. “My top priority while I’m home is to meet and talk with as many members of the community as possible,” said Dingell. “These are unique and challenging times, and many are concerned about the future of healthcare, the safety of their job and our democracy, and attacks on the Great Lakes and the environment. I will take their ideas and concerns back to Washington as we continue to fight for our shared values and work to make progress on the issues that matter to hardworking families.” Two upcoming town halls are listed below. Additional events will be announced throughout the two-week period.
