Washington state Rep. Vicki Kraft, R-Vancouver, speaks to constituents as fellow Rep. Paul Harris, also a Vancouver Republican, looks on during a town hall meeting at the Firstenburg Center in 2017.
The three Washington state lawmakers representing the 17th Legislative District will be stopping by Washington State University Vancouver Saturday to talk about the 2019 legislative session that concluded in late April.
Representatives Vicki Kraft and Paul Harris, and Sen. Lynda Wilson, all Vancouver Republicans, are inviting citizens from throughout the 17th Legislative District to join them from 10 to 11:30 a.m. June 1 at the Dengerink Administration Building lecture hall on campus (14204 NE Salmon Creek Ave., Vancouver).
“We recently finished an intense 105-day legislative session in Olympia. Now that we’re back home, we’d like to provide an update to people here in the community, listen to them and answer their questions,” Kraft said in a news release.
“We want to give the residents of our district the opportunity to discuss the 2019 legislative session and share any questions or concerns they have moving forward,” Harris said. “Town hall meetings allow us to better advocate for the citizens of Southwest Washington. I look forward to chatting with them.”
“The Legislature approved my bill to address the license-fraud issue that is all too familiar to people in Clark County, and I’ll explain how that new law will work,” Wilson said. “Unfortunately, the bigger news is that so many new taxes were approved even though they were completely unnecessary. This town hall gives us a chance to warn our constituents about what they’re in for.”
