WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) today released the third installment of his “Correspondence from the Commute” video series, in which he responds with personalized video messages to a sampling of constituents’ letters to his office. Senator Coons recorded 12 videos last Wednesday on the 6:25 am Northeast Regional from Wilmington to Washington.
“Though I read and respond to constituents’ letters every week, these videos are a great way for me to better connect with Delawareans and show that we give their letters careful consideration,” Senator Coons said. “Delawareans have a lot on their minds — the economy, gas prices, and our kids’ education among them this month. I’m grateful to hear from folks and look forward to recording more responses next month.”
