Veasey Re-lives High School Job During Thanksgiving Rush | 2014-11-21 | 2014 | 2014-11 | Democrat | House | TX | Marc Veasey | V000131 | veasey.house.gov | legacy | Irving, TX – On Monday, November 24, 2014, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, will join the staff of the Kroger Supermarket in Irving, where he will work a job similar to the one that he held in high school. As part of his “Marc Means Business” initiative, Congressman Veasey spends a few hours each month at small and large businesses to better understand the challenges that constituents face in their jobs and daily lives. This month, Veasey will take a trip down memory lane by bagging groceries for customers, stocking produce, and putting his artistic skills to the test by decorating a birthday cake in the bakery department. Long before he was elected to Congress, Veasey worked as a grocery bagger at a Kroger supermarket as a teenager. Veasey continues to make well-paying jobs and job creation a priority as he works at various industries under his initiative. “As we near the holiday season, it is important to be grateful for our blessings. I proudly represent the 33rd District of Texas, but I wouldn’t be where I am today if not for the jobs I had and the lessons I learned when I was younger,” said Veasey. “I look forward to spending the day with the employees of Kroger and being able to give back to a community that has trusted me to represent them in Washington, D.C.” WHAT: U.S. Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, works at the Kroger Supermarket in Irving WHEN: Monday, November 24, 2014 TIME: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM CDT WHERE: Kroger Supermarket 515 S.
