U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer hosts an hour-long telephone town hall with constituents at 6 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, July 31.

After receiving a brief update on Kilmer’s work in Congress, participants will have the opportunity to ask him a question or leave a message with their questions or comments.

“I’ve always said democracy works best when elected officials are accessible and accountable to the people they represent," Kilmer said. "While this doesn’t replace face to face meetings, while I’m in D.C. I’m glad to have the opportunity to discuss the issues that matter with the folks I represent."

Residents of the 6th District who would like to join the call can sign up at http://kilmer.house.gov/contact/townhall or send an email to kilmer.teletownhall@mail.house.gov with their name and phone number by noon on Tuesday, July 30.

Residents who sign up before the deadline will receive a phone call at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31, inviting them to the town hall.
