Kilmer plans town halls on Facebook, phone

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Derek Kilmer plans a Facebook live town hall today and a telephone town hall Wednesday to hear from constituents in the 6th Congressional District.

The Facebook town hall will be at 5 p.m. today. Log on to Facebook.com/Derek.Kilmer for the live feed.

At the start of the town hall, a live video will appear at the top of Kilmer’s newsfeed. Participants who are logged into Facebook can click on the live video to watch the event in real time.

Constituents will be invited to ask questions by entering their first names, hometowns and questions in the comment section. The video also will be available on Facebook after the town hall for those who could not join while it was live.

The telephone town hall will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

To join the call, send an email to kilmer.teletownhall@mail.house.gov with name, address and phone number today.
