Congressman Jerry McNerney is a busy bee these days. The editorial board of the Stockton Record noticed, recounting what McNerney did last week during the congressional "recess":
After less than four months in the House of Representatives, (Jerry McNerney's) life is on speed dial as he pursues a personal agenda to learn about issues and residents in the 11th Congressional District.
During a four-day period last week, McNerney announced formation of two advisory committees to help him better understand constituent concerns.
On April 9, he met with his health-care advisory board in Brentwood. Five of its nine members are from San Joaquin County.
On Thursday, McNerney announced creation of an agricultural advisory board. Six of its nine members are involved in farming and agribusiness in the county.
As the editorial mentions, Congressman McNerney is committed to meeting with these various new groups several times per year in an effort to be more fully informed about the issues of most concern to his constituents.
