Congress

WILKES-BARRE — U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan Jr. on Thursday said public office should not be seen as a lifelong career, but as a service to the community and country.

“Term limits allow for more discussion and new ideas in Congress,” said Rep. Bresnahan, R-Dallas Township. “As a younger member, I have seen how representation from the younger generations is lacking, and term limits would allow for these new generations to voice their opinions in an elected capacity.”

Bipartisan legislation offered on April 21 by U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA) would ensure that earnings from employment and training programs do not decrease Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Employment (SNAP) benefits for Americans in need. 

“Work is not a dirty word,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “In northeastern Pennsylvania and across the country, we are facing a skilled-workforce shortage, and businesses are in desperate need of those ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
