U.S. Rep Chrissy Houlahan, a Chester County Democrat, was in Reading on Thursday, where she visited the students of Glenside Elementary School.

A two-hour delay to the start of school had students arriving at 10 a.m., the time Houlahan was set to arrive.

Dr. Khalid N. Mumin, superintendent of the Reading School District, accompanied Houlahan on a tour of the school. Later, Houlahan read students a book.

Houlahan represents the 6th District, which includes part of Ber ks County.

One of her interests is education. Before being elected to Congress, she worked with Springboard Collaborative, a Philadelphia-based literacy organization.
