Ross townhall schedule

U.S. Congressman Mike Ross of Prescott will host his 11th call in a monthly series of telephone town halls on Monday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. CST. Ross said the calls are in addition to the 34 town hall meetings he has already held across Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District, hosting at least one forum in each of the district’s 29 counties. By year’s end, Ross said he will have hosted 58 public forums throughout his congressional district for his constituents to talk with him, ask questions and share their ideas.

“Many people weren’t able to attend my town hall meetings in person, including people who work during the day, parents of small children or those who have difficulty leaving their home,” said Ross. “I’ve been hosting these monthly calls to bring the town hall right to people’s homes, even when my duties require me to be in our nation’s capital for votes. These calls are an easy and convenient way for the people I represent to ask questions, get updates on how Washington affects them and hear my position on the issues all from the comfort of their own home.”

The Nov. 11 call will begin at 7 p.m. CST and should last approximately 60 minutes. Any resident throughout Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District can connect into the telephone town hall by dialing the following toll free number at the designated time and using the included PIN code: Phone: 1-877-229-8493, PIN: 14573. Working like a large conference call, constituents will have the opportunity to ask Ross questions and voice their concerns on an array of issues. As on previous calls, Ross will ask a series of survey questions throughout the call to gauge the feelings of the callers toward several issues.

“The live surveys provide a way for each caller to share his or her attitude toward a particular issue. It’s an interactive way of allowing all of the callers to participate in the call and share their thoughts as we discuss the important issues facing our nation today,” said Ross.

Some residents in Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District may receive an automated telephone call from Ross’s office that will give them the option to be automatically connected into the telephone town hall. In addition, Fourth District residents may dial into the call themselves using the following toll free number and the included PIN code: Phone: 1-877-229-8493, PIN: 14573.

The next and final telephone town hall for the year will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. CST.

“I look forward to hearing from people throughout Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District. It’s these type of events that help people stay informed, have a direct line to their congressman and share their own ideas on the great challenges that face our nation,” said Ross.
