Rep. Veasey Re-Lives High School Job During Thanksgiving Rush

Press Release

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."
