Congressman Brad Sherman responds to questions at his most recent Town Hall Meeting

Sherman Oaks, CA
– On Sunday, November 15th, 2015, Congressman Brad Sherman (D – Sherman Oaks) hosted a town hall meeting at Millikan Middle School in Sherman Oaks, fielding questions from some of the approximately 400 constituents who attended. Congressman Sherman has held over 200 Town Hall Meetings.

Much of the Town Hall was spent discussing concerns that have arisen as a result of the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris. Congressman Sherman provided a brief update about his work in Congress before responding to questions from constituents regarding a wide range of topics including immigration, terrorism, the Syrian refugee crisis, veteran’s issues, airport noise in the Valley, American foreign policy in the Middle-East and many other matters facing Congress.

“Town hall meetings are critical to the public policy process, providing an opportunity for me to hear about the most pressing concerns in our community and to elaborate on the work that my colleagues and I are tackling in Congress. Many residents were understandably concerned and upset by the recent terrorist attacks in Paris. This meeting provided a good forum to reflect on those attacks, and discuss its impact on American foreign policy,” said Sherman regarding the town hall. “These meetings are something I have always done, and will continue to do in the future. Many people hold strong opinions about the issues currently facing Congress. Hearing from Valley residents helps me better serve them. I want to stay up to date with what Valley residents are saying, so I can continue to fight for their needs and reflect Valley values in Washington. I would like to thank everyone who came to participate.”

Sherman also set up a constituent service booth at the meeting to help dozens of constituents resolve problems they were having with federal agencies. Sherman also directed his constituents to his Sherman Oaks office, (818) 501-9200, for further assistance in solving problems with federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs. He encouraged constituents to visit his website (www.BradSherman.house.gov) for more helpful information.
