Rep. Greg Stanton will talk about issues affecting the 4th congressional district next month during a session presented by the Tempe Chamber of Commerce.

The State of Our Congressional District will be 9-11 a.m. Wednesday, April 5, at Rio Salado College, 2323 W 14^th St., Tempe.

"This event offers attendees the chance to receive information first-hand from Congressman Stanton,” Tempe Chamber President/CEO Colin Diaz, said.

“We are fortunate to have collaborated with him and the city of Tempe on the BIPOC Micro-manufacturing grants that brought half a million dollars in federal funds to support Tempe businesses. 

"He is a strong proponent of workforce development and economic opportunity in the East Valley.”

The meeting brings together the business community, political leaders and “civic stakeholders for an update on federal issues affecting our district, state and country,” chamber officials said in a release.

“During his time in Congress, Stanton has focused on increasing trade opportunities in Arizona, planning for the state’s water future and investing in public transportation and infrastructure.”

Kate Smith, Rio Salado president, said she looks “forward to welcoming Representative Stanton and celebrating the important work under way in the 4th congressional district to make education accessible, equitable and relevant to the communities we serve.”
