April 26, 2010

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN-9) hosted a telephone town hall meeting to discuss the economy and how best to create jobs, health care, postal issues and other Tennessee and national concerns.

“Town halls give us the opportunity to discuss the issues and concerns that matter most to working families,” said Congressman Cohen, who also held a telephone town hall two weeks ago.“Whether it’s the economy and creating jobs, Social Security, health care or veterans affairs, people have opinions and ideas that help us move forward with legislation in Congress.”

The telephone town hall meeting began at 6:40 p.m. CST and lasted approximately one hour. Nearly 4,000 constituents participated in the call and asked questions about a wide variety of issues including the economy, Wall Street reform, Social Security, veterans affairs and other critical issues.

Since being elected to the House of Representatives in 2006, Congressman Cohen has hosted dozens of town hall meetings in his Congressional district and via telephone from Washington. Congressman Cohen will host a town hall meeting in Memphis on Saturday, May 8.
