Boren Schedules Town Hall Meetings

Democratic Congressman Dan Boren announced today the addition of three public town hall meetings to a previously announced telephone town hall series.

Boren said he's hosting the meetings "to broaden the discussion on health care reform and to gather input from constituents across the Second District."

Boren's announcement followed word that a Republican seeking his party's nomination for the 2nd District seat, Dan Arnett, will hold meetings outside Boren's local offices.

Boren's town halls are scheduled for August 18th in McAlester, Muskogee, and Pryor.

He joins other members of the congressional delegation in scheduling such meetings with the Obama Administration's health care plan expected to be the major topic.

“Town hall meetings are great opportunities for constituents in the Second District to come together as a community and share their thoughts and concerns,” Boren said. “I hope this event is well attended as communication is a key part of representing eastern Oklahoma. The dialogue expressed during town hall meetings greatly assists me,” Boren said.
