Ross Announces 22 Town Hall Meetings Throughout Fourth District in August

Community Meetings Will Focus on Ross’s Plan to Reduce Gas Prices and Secure Our Borders

 

(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Rep. Mike Ross (AR-04) announced today he will host 22 town hall meetings on reducing gas prices and securing our borders across the Fourth District in August.

“I believe it is important to come home and listen to the people I have the privilege to represent in our nation’s capitol,” said Rep. Mike Ross. “Gas prices and immigration are two of the most important issues facing our nation today, and they’re two I hear the most about from Arkansans. These are issues I believe we should be addressing right now in Congress, but unfortunately, due to the current leadership in Washington, they are missing from our agenda.”

Next week, Congress will begin its annual month-long summer work period. Throughout the month of August, Ross will be traveling across the Fourth District conducting town hall forums to discuss his plan to reduce gas prices and to secure our borders. Ross will host town hall meetings in: Rison, Lake Village, Hamburg, Camden, Magnolia, Texarkana, El Dorado, Waldron, Mt. Ida, Malvern, Arkadelphia, Fordyce, Hope,

Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, Hampton, Glenwood, DeQueen, Paris, Mena, Booneville and Star City. For details of each town hall meeting, please click here.

“Our nation currently has an energy crisis that is crippling working families, farm families and suppressing economic growth,” said Ross.  “In addition, our immigration system is broken and our borders desperately need to be secured.  The leadership in Congress is doing nothing about either of these issues which severely threatens our economic well being and our national security."

Ross’ town hall community meetings are an open opportunity for residents to share feedback with Ross on issues of concern in a town hall setting. Ross will also share his plan to enact common sense legislation that would reduce the price Americans pay at the gas pump as well as his plan to secure our borders.
