“Norton in Your Neighborhood” Tonight at Penn Branch Citizens Civic Association Meeting to Focus on D.C. Priorities in Transportation Bill, Clean Senate D.C. Appropriations Bill, Synthetic Drugs, and Statehood

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will host a "Norton in Your Neighborhood" community conversation with the Penn Branch Citizens Civic Association tonight, Tuesday, November 10, 2015, from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church (3000 Pennsylvania Ave. SE). Norton will engage Penn Branch-area and other District of Columbia residents about her role in getting priorities for D.C. and WMATA in the recently passed surface transportation bill, preserving DCTAG funding for D.C.'s college-bound students, strengthening federal law to combat synthetic drugs, the record number of House and Senate cosponsors for her statehood bill, and other congressional issues of interest to the community.

"I am looking forward to having an open and free-flowing discussion with Penn Branch residents on the issues most important to their community," Norton said.
