The first listening tour will focus on rural health care and will begin on February 13 in Salida and conclude on February 15 in Canon City.

Should the citizens of the 5th Congressional District elect me to Congress, I am committed to representing the entire District. These listening tours will be a valuable resource to me in that effort. I look forward to sitting down with doctors, nurses, patients and other health care professionals to explore ways that we might to work together to meet the challenges rural communities face.

Subsequent tours will focus on a number of issues including, but not limited to, education, public lands, and the economy.
