Eliot Engel to Appear at the Scarsdale Forum and at Democrat Party Fundraiser

The Scarsdale Forum will hold its General Membership meeting on Thursday, June 6 in the Scott Room of the Scarsdale Public Library at 8 p.m. Following the business portion of the membership meeting, Representative Eliot Engel will present the "State of the Nation"

Congressman Eliot Engel has served in Congress since 1988. He is the Ranking Member on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He is a senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, one of the most powerful committees in Congress, where he serves on the Health Subcommittee and the Energy and Power Subcommittee.

Rep. Engel has championed real healthcare reform and, as a former schoolteacher and guidance counselor, he strongly supported funding for education. He has called for reforming the Alternative Minimum Tax that is hurting so many middle class families.

He is a strong advocate for programs creating jobs to turn around our ailing economy and help the middle and working classes, assist our veterans returning to civilian life through job and education programs, make our country independent of oil from hostile governments, and reduce the outside influence of money in politics as a result of the recent Supreme Court Citizens United decision.
