Senator Coons releases 12 new Correspondence from the Commute videos

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.”

Videos released today include responses to:

• Andrew from Hockessin about improving our economy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1RML2cSrf0
