U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus invited constituents to come out Monday to Sweet Harmony Cafe in Harmony for coffee and conversation. 

Rothfus, R-Sewickley, had an open-floor conversation, answering everyone's questions and concerns openly. 

Some of the  concerns and questions voiced to the congressman, whose district includes Beaver and Allegheny counties, were healthcare, tax, and student loans. 
Tom Powner, a maintenance supervisor at Hussy Copper, who retired from the U.S. Air Force after 30 years, spoke of concerns about medical cuts specifically Tri-Care Prime for veterans . He added that he appreciates what Rothfus does for the state. 

Robert R Rosinsky, a self-employed CPA, said he was concerned about the way taxes are handled, which he said does not encourage people to make a lot of income.

Afterward, Rosinsky said he thought Rothfus was easy to approach.   

When asked about the turnout of 18 people, Rosinsky said that Rothfus "has a good following in Beaver County and if people have something bad to say then that is when they show up. "

Powner agreed, adding that if someone has something to say they should attend these events rather than sit back and complain.

After the open floor conversation, Rothfus went table to table to personally speak to everyone. During one table conversation, he met with a few Quigley Catholic High School seniors, who came  on their day off from school for the President's Day holiday.   

Student Anthony Kuntz of Economy said he was interested in politics and Andrew Broniszwski of New Sewickley Township came to thank Rothfus in person for a nomination he received from Rothfus's office for the service academy.

Ambridge Area High School student Miranda Penn of Baden was also one of the 20 nominees who received recommendations to the  U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
