In the 112th Congress, Congressman Meeks and his Democratic colleagues have fought for new direction in Congress by proposing sweeping measures to deal with the economic crisis. Congressman Meeks has focused on addressing the foreclosure crisis so prevalent in the 6th Congressional District. Congressional Democrats have also been committed to job creation, securing energy independence and making education accessible and affordable for all. He will continue to work with his colleagues to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health care and quality education.
