WASHINGTON, DC — Next week, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will make a series of stops in North Carolina’s First Congressional District, ranging from meeting with residents opposed to tolls on Interstate 95 (I-95) to a tour of Halifax Regional’s Mammography Center. On Monday, Butterfield will meet with executives from supermarket chain Food Lion to explore ways to bring smaller stores to food desert communities. Tuesday, the Congressman will meet with a group of community leaders and local business owners who are opposed to implementing tolls on I-95. In recognition of National Women’s History Month, and to mark the upcoming second anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, Butterfield will attend a Women’s Listening Session at the Wilson Public Library as well as join local leaders in a tour of the Mammography Suite at Halifax Regional’s Mammography Center. Halifax County has one of the lowest rates of African-American women undergoing routine breast cancer screening.
