John Marshall, the longest serving Supreme Court Justice in history, once noted that, "To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well." Indeed, throughout my time in Congress, I have believed you can learn a lot more by listening.
That's why I enjoyed travelling the Sixth Congressional District throughout the month of August. At every stop, dozens of people were ready with their suggestions and ideas on how to make things better in our country.
