The 46th District legislators are hosting a telephone town hall during the legislative session on Tuesday, March 24th, at 6:00 PM.
The legislators acknowledge how hard it is to travel to Olympia during the week, so they are coming to you by phone. They want to hear from their constituents on issues that are important to you.
Topics the legislators may address include:
- Fully funding our children’s right to a good education
- Expanding health care and protecting the safety net
- Making our tax system more fair
- Increased affordability for higher education
- Protecting our environment and combatting climate change
Shortly before 6 o’clock that evening, thousands of 46th Legislative District citizens will receive phone calls inviting them to stay on the line and participate in the Telephone Town Hall. Those who want to ask a question, or give comments, in this phone program will need simply to press “*3” (i.e., press the “star” button and then press the “3” button). If for some reason a citizen doesn’t get the call, he or she is encouraged to call the toll-free telephone number directly, 1-877-229-8493, and then enter PIN code No. 18646 when prompted to join the discussion.
The three lawmakers also emphasize that citizens should feel free to contact them individually. Further, people who want to send a message to lawmakers at any time can call the toll-free Legislative Hotline number, 1-800-562-6000, or this toll-free number, 1-800-635-9993 (for hearing-impaired citizens).
To join the Telephone Town Hall at 6pm on March 24th, call: 877-229-8493 and enter Code: 18646 when prompted.
