WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Our local representative in Congress wants to hear from the community during a virtual town hall this weekend.

U.S. Representative Rick Larsen is holding the live telephone town hall at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. Larsen says he’ll provide an update on his work to fight what he characterizes as the “Republican Rip-Off.”

He claims the Trump Administration has brought on chaos with the president’s stream of executive orders, threat of tariffs and cuts to federal funding.

Saturday’s town hall will conclude with Larsen taking questions from the public. Visit the link on Larsen’s website to watch the meeting live, or call (855) 962-0954 to listen in.

It comes as Larsen was in Bellingham on Feb. 14 to visit the Whatcom Museum’s new French paintings exhibit on loan from the National Gallery of Art.
