(WBRE/WYOU)— Tariffs, Medicaid, Social Security. We hear from Pennsylvania Congressman Rob Bresnahan (R) on the hottest and most controversial topics coming out of Washington.
Bresnahan discussed key issues surrounding the Trump administration that could affect people here in northeastern Pennsylvania.
He says he recognizes the accountability Congress has in taking action to help protect Pennsylvanians, but is making sure his constituents concerns are heard.
“There’s a lot of speculation right now. A lot of ifs, ands, buts,” said Rep. Bresnahan.
WILKES-BARRE — U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan Jr. on Tuesday said his first telephone town hall had more than 9,000 constituents of Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District dial in to the hour-long event.
Bresnahan, R-Dallas Township, said he spoke to constituents and answered their questions over the phone from his Washington, D.C., office.
U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan promised Tuesday to oppose gutting Medicaid, support extending expiring tax cuts and advocate for an agriculture bill that aids family-owned farms.
In his first telephone town hall, Bresnahan, a Luzerne County Republican, twice tackled Medicaid questions including one from a caller who mentioned a television commercial that claims he wants to cut the program.
“To be bluntly honest, the ads that you’re seeing are lies,” Bresnahan said.
WILKES-BARRE — U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan Jr., on Monday sent a letter to Pennsylvania State University President Neeli Bendapudi following the Feb. 25 memoranda by PSU to reevaluate campus locations across the Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District is home to a campus in Scranton and two in Luzerne County — Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre, which sit just outside of Bresnahan’s district and serve a sizable number of his constituents.
In a letter Thursday sure to hearten its backers, U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan offers “strong support” for a proposed passenger train between Scranton and New York City.
With supporters worried about the train’s future because of President Donald Trump’s desire to slash federal spending, Bresnahan said the train would boost Northeast Pennsylvania's economy.
