Congressman Derek Kilmer will hold a Facebook Live town hall Tuesday and a telephone town hall Wednesday to get input from constituents.

“I work for the people I represent and it’s important to me that I get opportunities to hear directly from you,” Rep. Kilmer said in a release. “I hope folks will be able to join one of my upcoming town halls to share their ideas and concerns.”
