Congressman John Tierney spoke at the “United We Fish” rally alongside U.S. Sen. Barney Frank, state Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante, Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk and local representatives of the North Shore fishing community in town to march on Washington.
“Our fishing communities have taken a hit, which is why it is so heartening that so many have still taken the time and resources to come march on Washington in support of their industry," said Tierney.
"I commend their efforts and hope to see these familiar faces again when we host our Oversight and Government Reform Domestic Subcommittee hearing in an effort to ensure that the fishing community and their families get a straight answer to the issues plaguing their business,” he said.
