Washington, Aug 8 -

Today, Congressman Patrick McHenry announced the schedule of his annual town hall meetings.  Congressman McHenry will hold a town hall meeting in each of the 10 counties comprising the 10th District.

As Western North Carolina families struggle with high gas prices, Congressman McHenry’s town hall meetings this year will focus on our nation’s energy crisis and how to solve it.

“Each and every day constituents ask me how we got into this mess of an energy crisis and how we’re going to get out of it.  I look forward to sharing my plan for lower gas prices and American energy independence with the good people of Western North Carolina,” Congressman McHenry stated.
