Rep. Jerry McNerney sets telephone town hall for Thursday

Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, will conduct a town hall meeting by telephone at 6:40 p.m. Thursday.

Residents from throughout the 11th Congressional District will be contacted by phone and, if they choose to participate, will join an hour-long telephone town hall meeting during which they will be able to ask questions of Rep. McNerney about the proposed health care legislation as well as other topics.

It will be the seventh telephone town hall McNerney has held this year.

This telephone town hall also builds on in-person events hosted by Rep. McNerney that have focused on proposed health care legislation, including a Congress at Your Corner this past Sunday in Tracy. This year, hundreds of people have attended Congress at Your Corners to share their thoughts on, and ask questions about, proposed health care legislation.

Residents of the 11th Congressional District can also contact one of Rep. McNerney's offices to sign up in advance for the telephone town hall. Rep. McNerney's Stockton office can be reached at 476-8552, and the Pleasanton office at (925) 737-0727.

The deadline to sign up for the telephone town hall is Nov. 5 at 5 p.m.
