Congressman Sherman Speaks at Pierce College

Sherman Oaks, CA – On Wednesday, November 9th, Congressman Brad Sherman spoke at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, fielding questions from the nearly 300 students in attendance. Sherman has routinely hosted town hall meetings for students during his time in Congress including multiple events at nearly every public and private high school and college in the San Fernando Valley.
On Wednesday, Sherman spoke about many federal issues including education, and the national debt. Sherman also responded to questions on a wide range of issues including economic policy, health care and college loans.

“It’s an honor to speak before a group of such active, young scholars,” said Congressman Sherman. “Pierce College is one of the finest community colleges in California. Meetings like this are critical to the public policy process. They provide an opportunity for me to hear about the most pressing concerns of young Californians, and to elaborate on the work for students that my colleagues and I are tackling in Congress. These students contributed to substantive conversations on a variety of issues that are important to the community. I thank all the students and faculty for their participation in the meeting, and I look forward to visiting again.”

Sherman directed the students to contact his Sherman Oaks office at (818) 501-9200 for further assistance with federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Education. He encouraged students and their families to visit his website (www.BradSherman.house.gov) for more helpful information.
