So today I had several Transportation meetings as well as busines meetings here in DC.
I first went by to see my friend Congressman Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. I could not get into his office building because they were evacuating it. I spent aboout an hour waiting in the basement tunnel so I could get into the Longworth Building.
Later we got the opportunity to meet with Congressman Mike Thompson. He was great as usual. The guy just cares about Yolo County. He gets it. He met with all of us that were out here from Yolo County. It was kind of silly to brief him in some ways since he knows about the projects already.
In the office of Congressman Wally Herger I am not sure anyone got to see the Congressman. I am told that Woodland leaders met with some intern in the basement. Oh well.
I was not able to make the later meeting with Congressman Jerry Lewis because it was too far away from the Thompson meeting.
After that I went to a reception with a friend of mine from the California Trucking Association. There I had the chance to speak wtih Congressman Bob Filner. What a nice guy. He asked questions about Woodland and Yolo County. He represented Imperial County so it is a county of about the same size but very different demographics.
We finished off the night with dinner in a really cool building in the older part of Washington DC. I am now beat and going to sleep.
I'm headed to the White House is the morning. We will see how that works out.
I never should have gone running this morning. We walked the whole day and I am beat. |
