SPOKANE, WA (April 14, 2017) – Today, Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) spent the day in Spokane meeting with and hearing from local community leaders.

She began the day attending the Greater Spokane Incorporated “Let Freedom Ring Breakfast” to honor military men and women from our community who serve and protect the freedoms we enjoy every day. She offered remarks to thank those in attendance for their service and for all they do, day in and day out, to keep our country safe and free.
