U.S. Rep. David Kustoff visits constituents of 8th Congressional District
JACKSON, Tenn. — Congressman David Kustoff takes time away from Washington to visit his district here in West Tennessee.
The congressman sat down with WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News late Wednesday afternoon at the WBBJ-TV studios in east Jackson to talk about what he is hearing from constituents across the 8th Congressional District.
We asked the Republican from Germantown about his thoughts on the U.S.-led airstrikes on Syria and its affect on international relations.
“I think it does get the attention of Assad and it gets the attention of President Putin in Russia, and it sends a signal to the leaders of North Korea, which might be our greatest military threat at this time,” Congressman Kustoff said.
On the issue of replacing Obamacare, the congressman said he believes enabling Americans to buy health care plans across state lines would drive down costs.
“If I found a plan that was better for my family and me in north Mississippi or eastern Arkansas or wherever, that would introduce competition, additional competition, into the market. It allows the free market to work,” Kustoff said.
Congressman Kustoff also hosted a law enforcement roundtable Tuesday in Madison County where he met with federal, state and local law enforcement officers.
