Legislative Forum with Congressman Matt Cartwright

Well, first question, the overarching question, is, with the 118th Congress coming up, tell us what your priorities are going to be in this next session. Right. I'm running for a sixth term because It took me five terms to get onto the circle of cardinals, the top of the House Appropriations Committee. Many of us here who have lived in northeastern Pennsylvania for a long time remember that we had members of Congress who were very effective, and it didn't matter what party they were in.
