David Segal talks with supporters at the opening of his Providence field office.

David Segal, Democratic candidate for Congress, will be coming to Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 4 for a meet-the-candidate event at 7pm in Custom House Coffee on West Main Road. Segal, who is running for the seat being vacated by Patrick Kennedy, will be here to meet and talk with voters from Portsmouth.

Segal is currently a state representative, where is a leader of the progressive caucus. He has been involved with legislation on renewable energy and green jobs, foreclosures and predatory lending, civil liberties, and criminal justice reform. This week, he won the endorsement of the RI Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals for his "strong voice for education and working families." Segal has also been endorsed by True Majority, Democracy for America, and the RI Progressive Democrats.

As you can probably tell, I'm a supporter (and have been ever since he played a key role in the Net Metering legislation that helps Portsmouth make more money from our wind turbine generator). Hope you'll come over to Custom House coffee next Wednesday and get to know him.
