Manchin Launches 4th ‘Commonsense Connections’ Week

Manchin staff will make more than 75 stops in all 55 counties

Washington, D.C. – Building off a strong record of outreach to his constituents, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is pleased to announce that his office will launch its fourth “Commonsense Connections” Week beginning Monday, May 21. Representatives from Senator Manchin’s office will make more than 75 stops across West Virginia – traveling to all 55 counties – to meet with constituents, hear their commonsense priorities and concerns, and gather their feedback. 

“There is absolutely nothing more important to me than the feedback, thoughts and ideas of West Virginians,” Senator Manchin said. “That’s what makes these ‘Commonsense Connections’ so important. Members of my staff will be in every single corner of the state to hear from you and assist you with whatever you may need, and I hope West Virginians will use this opportunity to share what’s on your minds.” 

Senator Manchin launched his first-ever “Commonsense Connections” Week in February 2011, when representatives from his office traveled to all 55 counties in the state. This is the fourth time the Senator’s staff has criss-crossed the state for “Commonsense Connections.”
