Congressman Will Be in Wyandotte on Saturday

U.S. Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-13th District) will hold a meet-and-greet at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at .

The Wyandotte stop is among four planned during a four-hour tour of his district. The other three stops are in Detroit.

Clarke will be traveling in a bus that he rented using federal money earmarked to pay for traveling costs for members of Congress, spokeswoman Ashley Lewis said.

Rather than using the money on personal travel, Clarke opted to use it to rent a bus that he will turn into a mobile office for a day to meet constituents, Lewis said.

“When I ran for Congress, I promised that I would not have a government leased personal vehicle," Clarke said in a press release. "Now, as a member of Congress, I am fulfilling my commitment not to use taxpayers’ money to lease a personal vehicle, and instead use the money to benefit metro Detroiters.”
