Meeting New Members of Congress

Today I visited new member of Congress Glenn “GT” Thompson’s office to deliver a ONE packet that contained information introducing ONE, PA District 5 ONE activity, and a letter requesting an in-district meeting. I was a little nervous at first but after a few seconds in the office all of my nerves went away. His staff was extremely friendly and more than happy to hear about ONE.

Mike Glazer (District Representative) gave me the name of who I need to call to set up a meeting with the Congressman, which I will do in the upcoming few days. I am pretty confident that we will be able to get support from District 5 in PA for ONE and look forward to a future meeting with Congressman Thompson!
