FASO, MALONEY DETAIL WASHINGTON’S HUDSON VALLEY IMPACT AT PATTERN FOR PROGRESS’ “ACROSS THE AISLE” TALK APRIL 21
NEWBURGH – Congressmen Sean Patrick Maloney and John Faso will focus on how Washington politics affect the Hudson Valley when they sit down together for a unique Pattern For Progress “Across The Aisle” discussion April 21 at Marist College in Poughkeepsie.
The new administration is influencing everything from Capitol Hill legislative priorities to funding and quality of life in this region. “Across The Aisle,” now in its fifth year, is a bipartisan discussion that demystifies the inner workings of Congress and provides insights on the most pressing issues — including how Maloney and Faso are navigating this new world on behalf of the Hudson Valley.
Faso, a Republican in his first two-year term, represents the 19th Congressional District. Maloney, a Democrat serving his third term, was first elected in the 18th District in 2012.
Pattern President and CEO Jonathan Drapkin will moderate. “Representatives Faso and Maloney are dealing with historic change,” Drapkin said, “and the context they provide will help the audience understand the short- and long-range impact on their lives.”
Pattern values the valley’s input. Questions for the congressmen may be emailed to . Audience members also can pose questions during the discussion via Facebook and Twitter.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at The Cabaret in Marist College’s Student Center. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Marist is at 3399 North Road, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. 12601.
