Hello, this is Congresswoman █████████████ at ████████████████. I'm calling to invite you to my live telephone town hall that I'm hosting right now. So to join us. Just stay on the line. I'll be sharing an update. On what's? Happening in ██████████, what I'm doing to represent you and taking your questions again. To participate. Stay on the line. To ask a question, press star three at any time the call will begin momentarily, please. Hold while we connect you to your access live event. This access live event is currently in progress. Please note that this call may be monitored, recorded, or rebroadcast. So let me be clear. Your voices fuel this fight. One of the most important things you can do is to tell me. What's on your mind? So thank you for joining tonight, and I look forward to hearing your stories. And the importance of these stories is that I take them back to ██ and I show ████████████ and Republicans the consequences of their cool and chaotic policies. And while we're fighting against cruelty and chaos in the White House. I haven't lost sight of the everyday challenges we're all facing, too. I know. What it's like to worry about paying for groceries for college or school and daycare. And housing, and I believe that economic justice is social justice. So I continue to fight every day. I continue the fight? For our children and our children's children to have clean air and clean water. I continue the fight to make sure all Americans can get and afford the care they need. And I continue to fight for the future of our country. Thank you again for joining. And I look forward to taking your questions.
