It’s not everyday a Congressman brings one of his constituents to the State of the Union as an advocate.
Tuesday was that day for Carmen Wargel.
Rep. Andy Levin (D-Bloomfield Hills), whose district includes most of Macomb County south of M-59, invited the chief strategy officer at Turning Point to be a virtual guest being she played such a pivotal role in the Levin Amendment to the Violence Against Women Act. In lifting up this legislative work authored and passed in the House of Representatives with the help of advocates like Wargel, Levin called on his Senate colleagues joining the address to take up the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and other important bills awaiting action in their chamber.
