4th District Congressman Jim Himes is spending the day in Ridgefield today.
He is starting the morning off at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, which was founded in 1964 by an avid collector of and advocate for contemporary art. From there he'll continue his series dubbed "Jim On Your Job." Himes will join the staff of the Ridgefield Library to learn about library operations. As a part of the visit he will be checking out books, shadowing staff, and visiting the library’s weekly “Baby and Me” class.
Later this afternoon Himes will be joined in Wilton by Senator Blumenthal. The pair plan to meet with gun safety advocates to discuss the recent passage of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019.
