A congresswoman about town halls

A congresswoman about town halls

Hundreds of residents in Washington’s 1st Congressional District came to ask and listen to U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene’s answer questions during a town hall meeting at Glacier Peak High School last Tuesday.

Topics ranged from President Donald Trump’s political strategies to health care reform, and a last-minute discussion on climate change. Many wanted to know how they could make a dent in policy decisions at the federal level.

The 1st Congressional District consists of most of Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties, and part of King County.

“I represent a diverse district,” said the Washington Democrat. “It’s set up to be the most evenly divided in the country by our districting commission, and we have people here throughout our district who have many different points of view politically, and I think that has been incredibly important for me as a member of congress, because I hear every point of view possible somewhere in our district.”
