WASHINGTON – On Saturday, July 24, Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-7)  held the first in an expected series of summertime town hall meetings with more than 60 residents at the Montgomery Township Municipal Building in Belle Mead.  

During the hour and half meeting with residents of Montgomery Township and Hillsborough, Congressman Lance discussed important issues facing Congress and the American people.  Lance took questions and shared his views on a wide range of issues including the economy, health care, federal spending and rising federal debt.

“We had a wonderful discussion Saturday of the important issues facing the Nation,” Lance said.  “Local residents were clearly concerned about the economy, federal spending, health care and growing levels of debt.  I was able to present my views on these topics.  It was a great, free exchange of ideas, and I was honored to have the opportunity to be able to answer their questions.”

Members of Lance’s staff were also available to assistance residents who are experiencing difficulties with federal agencies, such as the IRS, Social Security Administration, Veterans’ Affairs, the State Department or any other federal agency.
 
Lance noted that his next town hall meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m., Monday, August 2 at the Manville Senior Center located at 20 South Third Avenue.  The meeting is free and open to the public. Residents with questions can call Lance’s district office at 908-518-7733.
