Thank you to all of you who joined me, Representative Reuven Carlyle, and Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles for our 36th District Town Hall on Saturday. Almost 100 people showed up! I encourage you to check out this Ballard News-Tribune article to read more about the hot topics at the town hall.
If it’s one thing the citizens of the 36th District are concerned about, it’s education. Be it K-12, trade or vocational school, community college or university.
“I think everyone knows we have one of the most educated, intelligent, passionate districts in the state,” Rep. Reuven Carlyle (D-Queen Anne) said to a healthy crowd of about 80 at Saturday, March 16’s 36th District legislative town hall. He said every day they get hundreds of emails and calls from their constituents.
It’s true, if Jeanne Kohl-Welles’ (D-Belltown) lamentation to the Ballard News-Tribune after the townhall is any indication. She said she tries hard to respond to all of the constituent letters coming in, but says that often there are just too many.
Newbie Rep. Gael Tarleton (D-Ballard) was also excited by the impressive constituent involvement of the 36th District. “The vast majority coming into the office were not lobbyists. They were all of you.”
