REP BUTLER TO VISIT WHITE HOUSE

State Representative Larry B. Butler (D-Waterbury) attended a gathering at the White House in Washington, DC on Wednesday, November 9, 2011. African American leaders from government, business and the non-profit sector took part in the forum titled, “Policy in Action Conference: A White House Discussion on Economic and Domestic Issues Facing the African American Community.”

“I’m honored to have shared my constituents concerns with the people that could make real changes,” said Rep. Butler. “We discussed education, job creation and extending the payroll tax cut.”

The discussion featured senior White House and Obama Administration leaders, led by Valerie Jarrett, senior policy advisor to President Obama.

Since taking office, President Obama has worked to secure the future prosperity of the African American community by creating jobs, revitalizing schools, making college more affordable, increasing access to health care and strengthening the bonds that keep families together.

Rep. Butler is in his third term serving the 72nd House District in Waterbury.
