Local Republican WA lawmakers host telephone town halls

Washington lawmakers from the 13th District will be hosting a telephone town hall Monday night to help answer questions about a wide-range of topics.

Representative Tom Dent of Moses Lake says they expect 2,000 to 3,000 people to take part.

"I like to say that 'Representative' is not a title, it is a job description and my job is to represent my constituents and I hope they understand that is what we are trying to do and we do want to hear from them," says Dent.

Republican Representative Matt Manweller of Ellensburg and Republican Senator Judy Warnick of Moses Lake will also be on the call to help answer questions for a hour.  The call starts at 6 p.m. and anyone wanting to take part can dial (509) 941-2750, to ask a question listeners can press the (*) button on the phone keypad.

The 13th Legislative District includes Kittitas and Lincoln counties, most of Grant and a part of Yakima County.

The 16th District Republican Representatives, Rep. Bill Jenkins of Prosser and Terry Nealey Dayton will host a telephone hall tomorrow March 14, at 6 p.m.
