May 5, 2016
Medium platform enables constituents to engage with Moulton about his votes in Congress
\
Salem, MA – Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) announced his use of an online platform to provide comprehensive vote explanations after votes on significant pieces of legislation before Congress. Medium is an online platform where users can read and respond to posts, and in doing so, provide direct feedback to Moulton.
\
“I ran for Congress with a promise to lead with transparency,” said Moulton. “It’s not enough just to take a vote. Constituents deserve to understand why I vote the way that I do. Sometimes it’s simple, and sometimes it’s quite complex, but whatever the vote, I will always explain it. Unfortunately, too often politics and partisan allegiance influence how a Member of Congress votes. I have vowed to be a different kind of leader.”
\
Moulton writes an explanation after votes and posts these explanations on his Medium account. Medium is an online forum that enables users to respond to posts and directly engage with Moulton about his votes in Congress.
\
“I am committed to being an effective advocate for the Sixth District here in Congress, and I hope that constituents use Medium as an opportunity to understand the decisions I make and provide feedback,” Moulton said.
