Linda Sánchez Holds Telephone Town Hall Meeting with 5,400 Constituents (May 11 2011)

Washington, DC – On Tuesday, Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (CA-39) continued her commitment to listening to and addressing the concerns of her constituents by holding a telephone town hall meeting with more than 5,400 constituents.

"Listening to constituents is the most important part of my job," Congresswoman Sánchez said. "There are some huge budget cuts being proposed in this Congress, and people want to know how these cuts will affect their day-to-day lives. They want to know if they will lose Social Security benefits and whether they'll have to pay more for Medicare coverage. Having the chance to hear from constituents and their serious concerns strengthens my resolve to fight the reckless cuts Republicans are proposing."

During the Tuesday afternoon call, Congresswoman Sánchez spoke to residents from Cerritos, Lakewood, Whittier, South Gate, La Mirada, and Paramount about numerous topics, including Medicare, Social Security, health care, jobs, and the economy.

Congresswoman Sánchez answered eleven constituent questions during the hour-long call. Seventy-five constituents who participated in the telephone townhall left voicemail questions, which Congresswoman Sánchez will answer.

Congresswoman Sánchez plans to hold more telephone town halls throughout the year.
