Phillips makes good on campaign promise with first free, open-to-the-public town hall meeting as a Congressman-elect for Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District
EXCELSIOR, MN — Rep.-Elect Dean Phillips today announced that he will hold his first public town hall meeting since being elected on Monday, December 17th at Oak Grove Elementary School in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Phillips’s campaign for Congress was based on the idea that representation begins with listening, and in addition to appearing at well over 120 public events over the course of his campaign — including dozens of town-hall style events — he committed to holding free, open-to-the-public town hall meetings at least quarterly while in office.
In his remarks on election night, Phillips promised to hold his first town hall before even being sworn into office, which elicited cheers and applause from the crowd. Here are the details:
WHAT: “Representation Begins With Listening” Town Hall Meeting
WHO: Free and open to the public
WHEN: Monday, December 17, 2018, 6:30 PM
WHERE: Oak Grove Middle School, 1301 West 104th Street, Bloomington, MN
