Juneau legislators holding town hall meeting

Event offers chance to meet lawmakers as session starts

On the campaign trail, Juneau’s three new legislators were able to hear from people all over the borough. Now that their service has begun, they’re ready to have a conversation with the community as a trio.

Reps. Sara Hannan and Andi Story and Sen. Jesse Kiehl are holding a town hall meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29 at the Mendenhall Valley Public Library. The three Democrats are hoping to meet members of the community while also hearing some concerns and possible solutions that people have.
