Doors will open at 10:30 AM for community welcome, registration, informational tables, and a light brunch.
“This Town Hall is about listening with intention and building community-driven next steps,” said Dr. Crystal J. Davis. “We want residents to share what is working, what needs support, and what they want prioritized across Kansas Congressional District 2, including the 24 counties fully within the district and the portions of Douglas, Jackson, and Wyandotte Counties that are also part of District 2.”
The Town Hall will include opening remarks, a Commission overview, guided questions, and an open community listening session.
The Voter Network will present a voter engagement spotlight highlighting the importance of voting and civic participation. Community members will also have opportunities to provide feedback verbally and in writing.
