Rep. Owens plans telephone 'town hall' Thursday to discuss Farm Bill, immigration reform, sequestration, among other topics

Posted

Rep. Bill Owens will discuss the Farm Bill, immigration reform and sequestration with select constituents during a live telephone town hall Thursday night.

The call is part of the congressman’s ongoing effort to connect with constituents across the more than 16,000 square miles of New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Owens will also take questions from constituents.

The event will occur tomorrow evening from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“The best way to represent my constituents in Congress is to hear directly from them about the issues they feel are important,” Congressman Bill Owens said.

“Telephone town halls are as informative for me as they are for participants and I encourage all who can participate to join me on the call. I am looking forward to the discussion.”

Tonight, a random sample of residents in New York’s 21st Congressional District will receive an invitation by telephone to participate in tomorrow’s conference call. Additionally, anyone from the 21st District can request an invitation in the follow ways:

• Emailing their name and complete phone number to ny21townhall@mail.house.gov;

• Calling the congressman’s Washington office at 202-225-4611; or

• Filling out the form provided at http://owens.house.gov/Contact/TeletownHall.htm.

For those unable to participate in the telephone town hall, questions or concerns can be sent to Congressman Owens by calling any of his offices in New York or Washington, by visiting his website at http://owens.house.gov, connecting with Rep.
