Local congressman visits Edwards
by Kenji Thuloweit
Edwards AFB, Calif.
U.S. Congressman Steve Knight, R-Ca- lif., visited Edwards Air Force Base, Ca- lif., to speak at Stripes Lounge at the Oasis Community Center Dec. 15, 2017.
The visit was sponsored by the local Air Force Sergeants Association Chapter 1328. The event was open to all so that they could ask Knight quality-of-life questions concerning Airmen. He answered questions on a variety of issues. Additionally, he went into detail on the importance of voicing concerns with his office and other elected officials. This gives him and his staff the
ability to address these important issues. AFSA is a professional military organi- zation and their primary purpose is to pro- vide benefits and services for enlisted mem- bers by lobbying and sharing with Congress the needs of the enlisted. The group says it works with leaders in Washington D.C. and in the Air Force to enhance and maintain
the interests of all Airmen.
At Edwards, the local chapter works with
local leaders to solve issues that directly af- fect Airmen as well as recognize them for their many accomplishments.
Knight represents the 25th Congres- sional District in California, which in- cludes the Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita, Simi Valley and northern part of San Fer- nando Valley.
