REPRESENTING PENNSYLVANIA'S 15TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today to
represent Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District.
The 15th Congressional District encompasses 18 counties in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, nearly one-third of the land mass.
It includes all of Armstrong, Cameron, Centre--including my hometown
of Howard--Clarion, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Forest, Jefferson,
McKean, Potter, Snyder, Tioga, Union, and Warren Counties. It also
includes parts of Indiana, Lycoming, and Venango Counties.
Madam Speaker, I take great pride in my service to the people of the
15th Congressional District, and I work hard to earn their trust, help
solve their problems, and be a diligent Representative.
When I am not here in Washington, I spend my days on the road in the
district, traveling to meetings and events, and I work to connect with
my constituents and truly be a voice for each community I serve.
Madam Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to speak here as I gave
144 1-minute speeches in the 117th Congress and to be a strong voice
for the citizens of the 15th District.
The challenges before us remain great. It is my hope that we will
tackle these challenges head on. It is the American way.
