U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie has started a new series of events aimed at connecting with the community.
The Republican, who serves parts of the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, is kicking off his “Lunch with a Legislator” series.
On Thursday, he sat down with Latino professionals and small business owners at El Tipico Restaurant in Allentown, where they talked to him about their needs and priorities.
“When we have small, intimate settings like this, people can have real candid conversations about the things that are impacting them and their families. We want to hear those things so that we can best represent their interests in Washington, D.C.,” he said.
Mackenzie says the new lunch series is a way to help constituents on a year-round basis.
