Shuster to visit
U.S. Rep. Bud Shuster (R-Bedford) will hold office hours Tuesday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Fairchance Borough Building, in his first official stop in Fayette County since his new 9th Congressional District went into effect.
The session is designed to give people the opportunity to talk directly with Shuster and share their thoughts and ideas.
“This is one of the fundamental aspects of my job as a representative of the 9th District. It is also the part of my job that I enjoy the most. While I cast votes in Washington, D.C., the most innovative ideas come from talking and meeting with people in the communities across the district. These sessions are one of the best ways I can bring those ideas and concerns to Washington, D.C.,” Shuster said.
