Senator Coons releases nine new Correspondence from the Commute videos

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released a new installment of his “Correspondence from the Commute” video series on Friday, responding to Delawareans who’ve written to him on a variety of issues, including conflicts in Iraq and Syria, workforce training, and the Highway Trust Fund. Senator Coons recorded nine new personalized video messages in early July on an Amtrak train from Wilmington to Washington. This is the eleventh installment of the video series since its launch in February 2011.

“Listening and responding to the concerns of Delawareans is my most important job as a U.S. Senator,” Senator Coons said. “Each week, my office receives thousands of calls and letters from Delawareans sharing their thoughts about the issues that matter to them. The ideas and opinions of Delawareans play an important role in every decision I make here in the Senate, and I’m deeply grateful for their engagement. I hope Delawareans will continue to contact me so we can keep up this thoughtful and productive exchange.”
