Monday night is your opportunity to talk with Rep. David Price (D-4th District).
On Monday, April 8th, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Rep. David Price (D-NC) will host a town hall meeting at William Peace University’s Kenan Hall. The town hall is open to the public, and members of the media are also invited to attend.
Members of Rep. Price’s staff will also be on hand at the town hall meeting to help constituents dealing with federal agencies. Although he cannot override agency decisions, Rep. Price’s office can be a liaison between constituents and the federal agency responsible for processing a claim. Examples of how Rep. Price has helped include: assisting retirees with questions about Social Security or Medicare eligibility or benefit levels; connecting veterans with medical treatment programs at the VA; and helping those in need of passports for international travel. Rep. Price can also help constituents interested in finding federal grant or financial aid information. The below links from Rep. Price’s website (price.house.gov) provide additional information on these and other services.
While I disagree with Rep. Price on many issues, I find his work with the House Democracy Partnership fascinating and worthwhile.
The House Democracy Partnership (HDP) is a bipartisan, twenty-member commission of the U.S. House of Representatives that works directly with 16 partner countries around the world to support the development of effective, independent, and responsive legislative institutions.
Established by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2005, HDP uses peer-to-peer exchange programs, training seminars for members and staff, and targeted material assistance to build capacity in key areas such as legislative oversight, budget analysis, committee operations, constituent relations, and library and research services. Its singular focus on the legislative branch of government and its unique ability to bring together American legislators and their peers from around the world have made the commission a valuable forum for strengthening democratic institutions and deepening bilateral relations.
