Rob Woodall: Report from our U.S. Representative

Speaking to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville and their guests at Monday’s meeting was Congressman Rob Woodall.  Woodall serves the 7th district of Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives where he is on the House Committee on Rules, the House Budget Committee, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.  He focused on the bipartisan work taking place in the House which the media does not cover.  He showed a slide demonstrating the bipartisan work done for dismantling Obamacare and pointed out bipartisan bills in the past.  He commented on the Reconciliation Bill and the Transportation Bill, which the House passed and moved along this week.  He maintained that a lot of good does not make it into the newspaper and praised his colleagues, Republican and Democrat, as many good people.  He fielded questions about the upcoming presidential election and about the Speaker of the House selection process.  He praised Boehner and McCarthy for getting out of the way when the focus shifted to them rather than issues.  He emphasized attitude by saying, “If you think it is broken, it is broken.  You have to believe you can make a difference.”
