A congressman spoke to community members during a Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Troy Balderson, US Congressman for Ohio’s 12th District, spoke to local leaders Monday on various topics happing within congress but also within his district.

Among them was the continued discussion related to broadband and electricity.

“The broadband piece, I think we’re on the right track with that. It’s very bipartisan. We’re going to work on the energy part of it. We got to have that base load. We can incorporate the whole portfolio but we have to have that baseload.”

Overall, Balderson said that these traveling meetings give him the opportunity to visit members of his district to provide updates and hear what concerns or questions the people he represents may have.

The congressman’s district spans across Licking, Fairfield, Knox, Muskingum, Coshocton, Guernsey, Morgan, Perry, and Athens counties, as well as portions of Delaware, Holmes, and Tuscarawas.
