Congressman Derek Kilmer will be holding seven town halls throughout the region as part of a Town Hall Tour.

During the tour, which has a Bainbridge stop, Kilmer will give an update on Congress and answer questions.

The trip across Washington’s 6th Congressional District kicked off Feb. 13 at Pierce County Town Hall in Tacoma.

The North Kitsap Town Hall is planned for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 in the community room at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

The tour ends later that day in South Kitsap, with a town hall at 2 p.m. in the commission chambers of the Kitsap County Administration Building in Port Orchard.

This past week’s road trip surpassed (by one) the number of town halls held by Kilmer, a Gig Harbor Democrat in his second term in the House of Representatives, last year, when he had six. Kilmer also hosts “telephone town halls” that follow the same talk/Q&A format.
