“I really enjoy hearing from our constituents, and I’m looking forward to meeting with them in-person again,” said Harris. “These meetings are a great opportunity for people to get answers to their questions about everything happening this session.”
The two meetings will take place on Saturday, March 18 at these times and locations:

“As a freshman legislator, this will be my first opportunity to meet with the people of my district in a town hall meeting,” said Waters. “So much has happened this session and it’s been a whirlwind. It will be nice to get back to my district and reconnect with the people I represent.”
The 2023 legislative session is scheduled to end on April 23.
