U.S. Rep. James R. Langevin has hit the campaign trial for presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The Rhode Island Democrat was scheduled to make three appearances in New Hampshire yesterday for the New York senator. This coming weekend — House floor schedule permitting — he will be off to stump for Clinton in Iowa.
Langevin said last week that he leaves the selection of campaign events to the senator’s campaign staff, but he expressed the hope that he will get to meet with people who have disabilities as he travels to appearances on Clinton’s behalf. “There are 54 million Americans with some type of disability,” Langevin said. An interest group of that size “could be a major force in the election,” he said.
