Senator Chris Murphy will join the Retired Men’s Association of Greenwich (RMA) on Wednesday, April 19 at 11 a.m., at the First Presbyterian Church, to offer his thoughts on the fast-changing political situation in Washington.
Murphy is the junior US Senator from Connecticut, who was elected to replace the retiring Senator Joseph Lieberman in 2013. He previously served in the United States House of Representatives where he represented Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District from 2007-2013. Earlier he served as a member of both chambers of the Connecticut General Assembly, was in the Connecticut House of Representatives (1999-2003) and the Connecticut Senate (2003-2007). As a state senator, he was co-chairman of the General Assembly’s Public Health Committee for four years.
Senator Murphy is a member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP), the Foreign Relations Committee, and the Senate Appropriations Committee. Among his major efforts and concerns are health care (mental health, Medicare, health insurance reform), Congressional ethics reform (the House passed his 2008 proposal that creates an independent ethics panel), sensible gun control measures, increased investment and jobs in CT, strong public education and affordable college, and a forward-thinking foreign policy vision with emphasis on diplomacy, international human rights and the need for clear-eyed American leadership abroad.
The Greenwich RMA offers a free program every Wednesday that is open to the public; no reservations are required. For more information, visit greenwichrma.org or contact info@greenwichrma.org
