Daley to host telephone town hall

State Rep. Mary Jo Daley, D-Montgomery, invites residents of the 148th Legislative District to participate in a live Tele-Town Hall meeting at 7 p.m. June 14.

Residents of Daley’s district will receive an automated phone call at approximately 7 p.m. that Thursday inviting them to join the meeting. To participate, people simply need to remain on the line once they receive the call.

“I look forward to providing constituents the opportunity to have their voices heard and questions answered without having to leave the comfort of their homes,” Daley said. “I encourage anyone in the 148th District with a question about any state or local issue to pick up the phone and participate on Thursday.”

During the live event, Daley will discuss and take questions on a variety of state issues, and participants will be asked to weigh in on poll questions using their touchtone phones. Anyone who doesn’t have a chance to speak during the phone meeting will be able to record a question at its conclusion. Questions will be forwarded to Daley’s office for a future response.

Those interested also may email questions to Daley before the TeleTown Hall meeting begins at townhall@pahouse.net. Constituents also can call Daley’s district office at 610-832-1679 to confirm or be added to the list to receive the call.
