Congressman Gregg Harper: This Week at a Glance

This was another busy week in Washington and in addition to several important
votes and hearings, I had the opportunity to meet with a number of constituent groups and families from Mississippi to hear more about the issues that
impact them, their businesses, and their communities.

I also wanted to share with you just a few of the highlights from the week to keep you up-to-date with what’s going on in Washington!

Jefferson Gathering Congressional-Clergy Town Hall

Earlier this week I spoke to this incredible group of pastors about the importance of faith in leadership, and more personally the part it plays in my
life every day in our nation’s capital.

This Wednesday, The Subcommittee on Environment held a hearing to “examine legislation to provide practical reforms to the nation’s nuclear waste management

This morning, Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers joined me on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building to thank the incredible interns
who are a part of the CIPIID internship program, an initiative that I had the honor to launch on Capitol Hill in 2010 for students with intellectual
disabilities.

I am so honored to have the opportunity to serve you in Washington, and I will continue to do everything I can for you and for the people of Mississippi’s
Third Congressional District.

God Bless,

Gregg Harper

Member of Congress
