“We are at a very critical part of the 2013 legislative session, it is important we hear from the people we represent to discuss the issues before us in the Legislature,” said Smith, R-Clinton. “We have significant decisions to make regarding our transportation system, funding education, government reforms and certainly the budget. Input I receive from my constituents inform my decisions in Olympia, and I look forward to the opportunity to answer questions, and hear their concerns.”

Hayes, R-Camano Island, will be participating in his first town halls as a newly elected Representative for the 10th District.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting with families in my community.
