Congressman Jim McGovern to meet with North Quabbin Democratic Coalition
On Saturday, December 3rd, the North Quabbin Democratic Coalition will host Congressman Jim McGovern for a meet & greet at the King Phillip Restaurant in Phillipston.
Congressman McGovern will be in the region as part of a day of visits throughout North Worcester County and Western Massachusetts.
“I’m excited to meet with residents and activists in North Quabbin,” said Congressman McGovern. “The North Quabbin region is one of our Commonwealth’s great treasures, and I’m eager to hear more about the issues that are important to those who call the area home.”
"For many years, the northern tier has been so blessed to have been represented by Congressman John Olver," said Brian Eno of the Orange Democratic Town Committee. "John's announcement that he will retire at the end of this session together with new district lines having been finalized means the North Quabbin is seeking new representation in Congress. Jim McGovern clearly has a strong record of representing residents and we are so glad he has made the North Quabbin an early stop on his campaign."On Saturday, December 3rd, the North Quabbin Democratic Coalition will host Congressman Jim McGovern for a meet & greet at the King Phillip Restaurant in Phillipston.

About Congressman McGovern
Since his election in 1996, Congressman McGovern has been widely recognized as a tenacious advocate for his constituents and an unrivaled supporter for social justice and fundamental human rights.
Congressman McGovern has been a leading critic of U.S. military policy in both Iraq and Afghanistan, coordinating bipartisan initiatives focused on the human and financial costs of war and proposals for safely withdrawing U.S. forces from the country and promoting a political solution for Afghanistan and the region. In May, his amendment to exit the war in Afghanistan was defeated by a surprisingly close 215-204 vote, in a strong bipartisan demonstration of frustration with current policy.
Congressman McGovern recently introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, and end corporate personhood.
