This unique opportunity to privately meet with a Congressman, or their senior staff, will allow you to discuss today’s most pressing policy priorities—cutting spending, stabilizing health care, reforming immigration, and securing our elections. Throughout the day, Heritage Action Government Relations and Grassroots staff will be with you every step of the way showing members what Heritage Action does best.

The day’s programming will conclude with a special guest speaker at our 227 Pennsylvania Avenue building, where a light lunch will be served.

Transportation will be provided. Buses will return to the hotel at 1:15 p.m.
