Swalwell mixes play with work in town hall

Posted by Nate Hoffman on Sept. 19, 2013

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) will be getting quite a workout from constituents during his next town hall meeting.

The congressman, during the "Ride With Your Rep" event, will lead constituents on a 45-minute bike ride along the Alameda Creek Regional Trail in Union City, Calif. Swalwell intends to use the ride as an opportunity to answer constituents questions about such topics as the economy, Medicare and Social Security.

The trail stretches 12 miles from the mouth of Niles Canyon to the San Francisco Bay. Swalwel, who is a member of the Diabetes and Soccer Caucuses and is a strong proponent for the Affordable Care Act. He hosted a similar event in January through the Tri-Valley region of the Bay Area.
