Congressman Mike Rogers held a “Congress on Your Corner” public meeting at the Ashland Town Hall today, taking questions from constituents.

“Soon, Congress will consider controversial issues which will have a big impact on our economy and hard-working folks in East Alabama,” Rogers said after the event.

Rogers discussed Obamacare and the impact it will have on the area. “President Obama’s healthcare law is unworkable, and it’s obvious the Administration knows this given all the delays and waivers. Congress should take every opportunity, both big and small, to stop Obamacare,” Rogers said. 

Rogers says he enjoys hosting these public meetings to give constituents the opportunity to discuss issues important to them directly with their representative.

“Hosting these events gives me the chance to hear first-hand what is on the minds of folks across East Alabama. So many people are concerned with what’s going on in Washington these days as they should be, and these public meetings help me take those concerns back to Congress to continue fighting for East Alabama’s interests,” Rogers said. “I appreciate everyone who took the time to come and express their concerns.”

Rogers held a Third Congressional District Agriculture Advisory Committee meeting earlier in the day in Clay County with local farmers and leaders in the agriculture industry from across East Alabama to discuss the Farm Bill.
