Rep. Norma Smith to host community call March 24
Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, will host a 10th Legislative District telephone town hall meeting Tuesday, March 24, 7 to 8 p.m. Residents around the district are invited to participate in the call.
Constituents can call in toll-free at 1-877-229-8493, then enter PIN 13450. The call works much like a call-in radio show, where participants ask questions of Smith directly during the hour.
“It's exciting to use this type of innovative way to reach folks who may not have time to attend one of my in-person meetings, or are simply too busy with family and work,” Smith said. “My hope is that it allows people to have a two-way dialog about their government without leaving their home or trying to locate a number to call.”
Smith said she's not sure which topics will be discussed, as the conversation is set by the callers. The budget deficit, ferry situation and local parks, she said, are the topics she is receiving the most contact on recently.
“All legislative issues are on the table. If I'm not able to answer an inquiry, I'll certainly follow-up to get the relevant information,” Smith said. “Keeping up with the bills and making sure I know where our district stands on issues is very important to me. Tuesday's conversation will continue to help me be a better representative for our district.”
Smith can be reached at (360) 786-7884 or smith.norma@leg.wa.gov.
