Tele-Town Meeting Set for Tomorrow

Tuesday, March 31st 6:00 -7:00 PM

Tele-Town Meeting

On Tuesday, March 31st, beginning at 6 PM, I will be holding a telephone town hall to discuss state and local issues with residents of the 23rd Senate District.

The tele-town hall format allows residents living in Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Union Counties to participate in a discussion on the issues without the need to travel throughout the region. Participants may ask questions or simply remain on the line to listen to the discussion.  Individuals interested in participating in the event can sign up in advance by clicking here.

The event will also feature a live audio stream page that allows smartphone, tablet and computer users to listen in and submit questions for me online. A link to the live audio stream will be available here immediately prior to the event.

I look forward to hearing from you and having a constructive conversation on the issues that matter most. Whether you want to ask a question or just follow the discussion, I hope you check it out.
