Rep. Kilmer talks about COVID-19 response at telephone town hall

Posted

Congressman Derek Kilmer will host a telephone town hall early next week to talk about the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rep. Kilmer, a 6th District Democrat, will be joined by Dr. Larry Corey.

Corey is an internationally renowned expert in virology, immunology and vaccine development at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the co-leader of the vaccine testing program for the COVID-19 Prevention Network. He will talk about  vaccines for COVID-19 and what's to come.

Kilmer will provide details on legislation passed by Congress to support workers and families.

The town hall will also include time for 6th District residents to ask questions.

The event is planned for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 22.

“Even though we can’t meet in person right now, it’s important for me to hear from as many constituents as possible across our region,” Kilmer said.

“I hope folks will be able to join the town hall to learn more about COVID-19 recovery, my ongoing efforts to ensure the federal government steps up to lend a hand to families and local employers, and to get your questions answered,” he added.

Residents of the 6th District can call to join the town hall by calling 877-229-8493 (the access number is 111435) or listen over the internet at www.Facebook.com/Derek.Kilmer.
