Congressman Connolly at Your Corner
Share
We caught up with Congressman Connolly (D, VA-11) at the Oakton Public Library for a “Congress at Your Corner” event this weekend.
We were pleased to discover that some members of his staff are also ONE members!
This Friday, ONE members from the 11th district will meet on the Hill with the congressman’s legislative assistant to discuss global poverty issues. Representative Connolly said that he would be “there in spirit” and encouraged us to continue our efforts to raise awareness of extreme poverty and HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB in Africa and elsewhere. He also assured us that as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee he will make development a priority.
We’re very excited that we have an advocate in the newly-elected Congressman from northern Virginia and his staff!
