Topics Included Reproductive Rights, Postal Service Issues, Illicit Fentanyl, & Social Security Benefits

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger last night hosted an open, public telephone town hall to discuss issues faced by Virginia families, small businesses, and seniors.

During Monday’s event, Spanberger and Seventh District residents discussed many topics — including cracking down on illicit fentanyl, addressing U.S. Postal Service (USPS) issues across the Commonwealth, safeguarding Virginians’ reproductive rights, investigating the attempted assassination of former President Trump, protecting Social Security benefits, and more. Additionally, the Congresswoman provided an update on the bipartisan legislation she helped introduce last week to strengthen efforts to destroy the chemicals used to make illicit fentanyl. She also discussed her recent effort to press the CEO of CSX Transportation for answers following a train derailment that damaged property in Fredericksburg.

More than 5,600 Virginians joined Monday night’s event. Click here for a full video recording of the event.

“On Capitol Hill, I’m focused on delivering on the issues that are top of mind for residents of Virginia’s Seventh District — and I am grateful to have opportunities like Monday night’s town hall to connect directly with the people I represent. From safeguarding reproductive rights to addressing the fentanyl crisis to protecting Virginians’ retirement benefits, I thank each and every Virginian who tuned in and shared their thoughts on the issues that matter most to them,” said Spanberger. “I look forward to the next opportunity to connect with so many Virginians and continue discussing how I can best advocate for their families, businesses, and communities through my work in Congress. As always, I encourage anyone who was unable to ask a question to please reach out to my office.”

Monday’s event was Spanberger’s 60th open, public town hall event. These town halls have focused on a range of issues facing Virginia’s families, Veterans, seniors, small businesses, students, and communities. Click here to watch full recordings of previous events.
