Over 9,000 People Participate in Congressman Thompson’s Telephone Town Hall

March 27, 2009

WASHINGTON--- After receiving the finalized data, Congressman Mike Thompson (D-Napa Valley) reflected on the successful telephone town hall held Wednesday night.  Over 9,100 constituents in the First District participated in the town hall.

“While telephone town halls are no replacement for in-person events, it was a great opportunity to hear from our community,” said Congressman Thompson.  “To see this many people who truly care about our district and our country is inspiring.  We are facing some tough times, but the energy and involvement of our district is evidence that the American people will overcome these challenges.  I look forward to continuing these discussions with in-person town halls throughout our district.”

Due to the extremely high number of participants, Congressman Thompson will respond in writing to the 200 voicemails left by participants after the call that were not able to ask their question during the hour long forum.
