Congresswoman Scanlon Hosts First In-Person Town Hall of 2022
Media, PA,
April 18, 2022
Media, PA – Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) is hosting her first in-person town hall of the year on Wednesday, April 20 at 6 p.m. on the Penn State Brandywine campus. The event is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. Residents of Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District can register for the event online.
“After nearly two years of limiting constituent meetings to virtual gatherings and small venues due to public health concerns, I am happy to resume hosting larger in-person town halls as another way to engage with constituents,” said Rep. Scanlon. “Hearing directly from the residents of PA-05 is always a rewarding experience, and helps me to better serve as their voice in Congress. We’ve all been through a challenging few years, and I want to get feedback from everyone I represent about what’s working, and what isn’t, as we continue to recover from the pandemic. While I am optimistic about America’s strong economic recovery, historic job growth, advances in health care to help limit the impact of COVID-19, and the passage of a much-needed infrastructure package, I also share my constituents' concerns about the challenges of inflation, gun violence, anti-democratic influences, and other inequities that still need to be addressed. I look forward to hearing from residents of the 5th Congressional District as my team and I set strategy and prioritize the work that lies ahead.”
During the town hall, Scanlon will share updates on her work on behalf of families in Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties and take questions from attendees. Throughout the pandemic, Scanlon utilized a number of methods to stay connected with constituents in the absence of traditional in-person town halls, including: tele-town halls, virtual town halls held on Zoom and livestreamed to Facebook, increased email communications, and smaller conversations at public libraries, Rotary Clubs, senior living facilities, and schools.
