18th District residents can talk to their state representative from home

Rep. Jaime Herrera is inviting residents of her district to participate in a tele-town hall meeting Thursday, Feb. 26, at 7:00 p.m.

Citizens can call in and participate from their homes by dialing 1-877-229-8493 and entering PIN number 13470. The call begins at 7:00 p.m. and will last an hour.

"My job is to listen to and understand the people I am so fortunate to represent. What many people like about this option is being able to talk to me directly from the comfort of their own homes," said Herrera, R-Ridgefield. "I encourage everyone to call in, participate and ask any questions they’d like."

The format will allow Herrera to listen to residents, answer questions and discuss various issues. Citizens will have the options of listening in, asking questions and taking part in polls.
