Washington, Aug 13, 2007 -

Congressman McHenry today announced he will be hosting town hall meetings throughout the Tenth District during the month of August.

“The most important part of my job is listening to the people of Western North Carolina – and this is a great opportunity for them to make their voices heard,” Congressman McHenry said.
