Latest Town Hall a Success

I held my latest telephone town hall last evening and I was very pleased to speak to so many residents of the 27th Senatorial district during the hour-long call. In all, we had 4,571 total participants, with a peak of 1,914 at one time. We were able to talk about issues of importance, such as the tolling of bridges across the state, unemployment compensation, the state budget, election security and many other topics.

I also asked for the input of the participants on 4 important issues. Here are the results:

Allow mail-in voting with specific, approved excuse: 73%
Unsure: 6%
