Jan 15, 2018

Northeast Washington residents are invited to take part in a 7th Legislative District “telephone town hall meeting” on Tuesday, Jan. 23.

The community conversation, which is similar to a call-in radio format, will begin at 6 p.m. and last one hour.

The 7th District’s legislative team – Sen. Shelly Short, R-Addy; Rep. Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda; and Rep. Jacquelin Maycumber, R-Republic – will take listeners’ questions and provide information and perspectives on the 2018 legislative session in Olympia.

To participate, constituents can call 509-404-3053 beginning at 6 p.m. Once connected, they can listen in and press the * (star) key on their telephone keypad to ask questions.

Participants can take part in the community conversation, listen to their neighbors and leave a message for the three lawmakers.

The legislative session began Jan. 8 and is scheduled to end March 8.
