On Saturday, Congressman Ami Bera, M.D. hosted his first Community Forum in Rancho Cordova. The forum featured remarks from Bera, California Assemblyman Ken Cooley, and Mayor of Rancho Cordova Robert McGarvey and a question and answer period that was moderated by Rancho Cordova City Councilman Donald Terry. Staff was also available to help constituents with any issues they may be having with the federal, state, or local government.

"Staying connected with Sacramento County is core to my job as a representative. I'm here to listen and make government work for my constituents. That's why I started a new series of Community Forums that are designed to bring together elected officials from all levels of government. This type of forum provides constituents with an opportunity to hear from their federal representative, state representative, and local representative on a variety of topics in one setting," said Bera.
