Congressman Derek Kilmer will hold a telephone town hall next week to talk about the issues 6th District residents care about.

U.S. Rep. Kilmer, a Gig Harbor Democrat, will host the event at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11. Participants will have the opportunity to ask Kilmer a question or leave a message with their comments.

“It’s important to me that I hear directly from the people I represent,” Kilmer said.

“It’s why in order to stay accountable and accessible every year I hold a series of town halls in person and over the phone. I hope you’re able to participate in this upcoming call to share your ideas and concerns,” he said

Residents of the 6th District who would like to join the call can send an email to kilmer.teletownhall@mail.house.gov with their name and phone number by 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10.

Residents who sign up before the deadline will receive a phone call on Wednesday, Oct. 11 inviting them to the town hall.
