U.S. Congressman LOUIE GOHMERT: Proudly Serving the First District of Texas

Congressman Louie Gohmert (TX-01) and local organizations are readying for the upcoming East Texas Job Fair being held in Longview Monday morning. The event has 60+ employers registered who are seeking to fill more than 1,500 positions. This will be the second Job Fair hosted by the Congressman this month, the previous being held in Lufkin with almost 50 employers and more than 600 job seekers in attendance.
 
The Congressman stated, “Many here in East Texas are doing their best to cope during this difficult economic time, and we want to do everything we can to help them support themselves, their families, and their businesses. People need jobs, and as evidenced by the strong employer feedback we’ve received, there are job opportunities out there. The goal of these events is to bring together businesses that need employees and people looking for work, so we hope to see a great turnout from East Texas job seekers. Our partnering organizations are also invaluable resources for local employers, so I encourage both employers and job seekers to take advantage of Monday’s Job Fair. ”
 
Rep. Gohmert’s office is coordinating the event in conjunction with Workforce Solutions Gregg County, Longview Economic Development Corporation, East Texas Council of Governments, and Longview Partnership. Admission is free for attendees, and job seekers with a range of backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to attend.
