HENRICO CITIZEN

U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger will host another telephone town hall meeting Aug. 4, during which she’s expected to answer questions from Seventh District residents about rising prescription drug costs, small businesses concerns amid the COVID-19 crisis, and her desire to expand reliable broadband internet access.

She also will discuss her recent efforts to maintain telehealth services and address the status of COVID-19 relief negotiations in Congress.

The live event will be Spanberger’s eighth since the pandemic began and will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and may be accessed by phone at 855-920-0555 or viewed at spanberger.house.gov/live or on Spanberger’s Facebook page.

“While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought immense uncertainty, my most important responsibility remains listening directly to the opinions, suggestions, and concerns of those I serve,” said Spanberger. “I hope many Seventh District residents will join our interactive conversation and help guide my office as we advance the priorities of Central Virginia during these challenging times. Our communities face many challenges in the days and months ahead, and I look forward to discussing how we move forward, protect our families, and build a pathway to recovery here in the Commonwealth.”
