Washington, D.C. - U.S. Congresswoman Betty Sutton announced today that she will hold two town hall meetings next week in Ohio's Summit County and Lorain County. Sutton will speak with Ohioans about the Democrats' new direction, and how recently passed legislation will help improve their lives.

Sutton will highlight legislation passed to end corruption in Washington, raise the minimum wage, make education and health care more affordable, and discuss news laws that will invest in science and end subsidies to oil companies.

Both town halls will follow the same format. Sutton will open the event with brief remarks, introduce her district staff, and spend the majority of the event responding to questions. Those interested in attending and/or submitting a question for the Q & A period should RSVP to the email address below or contact either of Sutton's district offices in Lorain or Summit County.
