Dallas, TX—On Friday, May 29, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, will roll up his sleeves alongside the staff of Dallas Parks and Recreation as they prep Oak Cliff Parks for a summer of outdoor activities. As a strong advocate for health and fitness, Congressman Veasey will assist in painting handrails, maintaining park fountains and landscaping, and performing graffiti sweeps to keep Dallas' parks in top condition for the community to enjoy for exercise and leisure.

Keith Company, worked as a grocery bagger at Kroger, and worked the assembly line at Lasko Products. The Marc Means Business series connects Veasey with constituents at their place of employment to better understand the challenges they face in their work and daily lives.
