MacArthur meets with local Democrats

(Marlton, New Jersey) – Below is a Facebook post from Congressman Tom MacArthur regarding his visit to last night’s meeting of the Evesham Township Democratic Party. If you are interested in speaking with Congressman MacArthur about this exchange, please contact Camille Gallo.

“Last night, as I was leaving my office at the Gibson House in Marlton, I saw a sign near the door – “Evesham Democrats 7 – 8:30 Downstairs”. I had just finished up a productive meeting with Action Together Burlington County – an organization that was respectfully protesting at my office just last week – and I wondered if the Evesham Democrats would mind if I stopped-by.

So, I walked in. Yes, a Republican Congressman dropping in to a meeting of local Democrats to talk with them about some very serious concerns they had. We didn’t yell or point fingers. We talked honestly and respectfully. We certainly disagreed in some areas, but we did it respectfully.

I genuinely cherish moments like these and I’m certain our country would be the better for it, if members of both parties – Republicans and Democrats alike – would commit ourselves to working together to make America the best it can be.

Neither party has a lock on good ideas and all should have their imprint on where we go as a nation. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to represent Burlington and Ocean Counties in the United States House of Representatives”
